63926 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 1997 / Notices

and 157.211(a)(2)) for authorization

under Granite State’s blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–515–000

pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas

Act, to construct and operate new

metering and associated appurtenant

facilities for use in providing deliveries

of transportation gas to a new bakery

owned and operated by J.J. Nissen, Inc.

(Nissen), in Biddeford, Maine, all as

more fully set forth in the request which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Granite State indicates that Nissen, a

large commercial bakery, is constructing

a new plant adjacent to Granite State’s

pipeline in Biddeford, Maine. Granite

State has an existing delivery point for

deliveries for the account of Northern

Utilities, Inc., at the Biddeford

Industrial Park. The new delivery point

will be constructed next to the existing

delivery point in Granite State’s existing

right-of-way. The facility will include a

4-inch turbine meter, two 2-inch Fisher

regulators, a 4-inch Safeco filter and

miscellaneous piping and fencing.

According to Granite State, the

estimated cost of the new delivery point

is $74,900, which will be reimbursed by

Nissen. Granite State further states that

it will provide interruptible

transportation for deliveries to Nissen at

the new delivery; maximum daily

deliveries are estimated to be 500 Dth.

Granite State states that the construction

and operation of the new delivery point

is not prohibited by its tariff and that

the interruptible transportation service

for Nissen will not adversely affect

Granite State’s ability to provide its

maximum daily delivery obligations for

its firm transportation shippers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

the Commission’s Rules.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must submit

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as 14 copies with the Commission.

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 1997 / Notices 63927

unnecessary for Great Lakes to appear or

be represented at the hearing.
