Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 205 / Thursday, October 23, 1997 / Notices 55231

Act to amend its existing certificate and

abandonment authorizations to grant a

three-year extension beyond the

currently authorized April 30, 1998

expiration date, until April 30, 2001, all

as more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Specifically, Northwest requests

authorization for:

(1) A limited-term, partial

abandonment of Northwest’s Rate

Schedule SGS–1 storage service for The

Washington Water Power Company

(Water Power), corresponding to a

limited-term release of the Jackson

Prairie storage capacity by Water Power

to Cascade Natural Gas Corporation

(Cascade); and

(2) A limited-term certificate of public

convenience and necessity, with

pregranted abandonment, authorizing

Northwest to provide additional Rate

Schedule SGS–1 storage service for

Cascade in place of the temporarily

abandoned SGS–1 service for Water

Power.

Northwest states that under an

agreement dated July 23, 1990 and

amended April 28, 1995 (Release

Agreement), Water Power released

480,000 Dth of storage capacity, 15,000

Dth per day of firm deliverability and

5,533 Dth per day of best-efforts

deliverability to Cascade for a limited

term expiring April 30, 1998. Northwest

further states that consistent with the

release, Northwest was authorized to

correspondingly reduce its existing Rate

Schedule SGS–1 storage service

obligations to Water Power and to

provide replacement Rate Schedule

SGS–1 storage service to Cascade for a

limited term expiring on April 30, 1998.

Northwest explains that Water Power

and Cascade have agreed to extend the

storage release for an additional three

years pursuant to a July 30, 1997

amendment to the Release Agreement.

Northwest states that superseding Rate

Schedule SGS–1 storage service

agreements have been executed with

both Water Power and Cascade to reflect

this three-year extension.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 7, 1997, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE, 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 or 385.211)

and the Regulations under the NGA (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

to a proceeding or to participate as a

party in any hearing therein must file a

motion to intervene in accordance with

the Commission’s Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Northwest to appear or

be represented at the hearing.
