Great River Gas Company; Notice of

Application To Amend Service Area

Determination

September 12, 1997.

Take notice that on September 4,

1997, Great River Gas Company (Great

River) filed an application to amend the

authorization it received in Docket No.

CP80–556–000 when it was granted a

service area determination. Great River

wants to amend its Section 7(f) service

area determination by substituting the

name of Atmos Energy Corporation

(Atmos), in place of Great River, as the

holder of the determination.

Great River explains that its Section

7(f) service area determination covers its

operations as a public utility engaged in

the sale, storage, and distribution of

natural gas to customers in two

contiguous, but unconnected, service

areas in Iowa and Missouri. The

determination order authorized Great

River to construct a two-mile, 6-inch

pipeline interconnecting its separate

facilities in Iowa and Missouri.

Great River states that on March 10,

1989, United Cities Gas Company

(United Cities) acquired all the stock of

Great River and assumed Great River’s

status in all FERC proceedings. Great

River asserts that since 1989, its

properties have been operated as part of

a division of United Cities.

Great River relates that on July 31,

1997, United Cities and Atmos merged,

and that the merged company bears the

name Atmos Energy Corporation.

Therefore, Great River would like its

Section 7(f) service area determination

amended to reflect the name of Atmos

as the holder of the determination.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

September 25, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to

intervene or a protest in accordance

with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 and

385.211) and the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All

protests filed with the Commission will

be considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make the protestants parties

to the proceeding. Any person wishing

to become a party in any proceeding

herein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

rules. Copies of this filing are on file

with the Commission and are available

for public inspection in the Public

Reference Room.
