Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

a new delivery point on Southern’s

Wrens-Savannah Line in Screven

the estimated cost of the construction

and installation of the facilities is

approximately $227,500. Southern

asserts that it will transport gas on

behalf of King under Southern’s Rate

that the installation of the proposed

facilities will have no adverse effect on

Southern’s ability to provide its firm

deliveries.

treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

SR Hydropower of Brockway Mills, Inc.

SR Hydropower, Inc.; Notice Accepting

Late Filing and Establishing Deadline

for Responses

December 3, 1997.

On November 1, 1996, Paul V. Nolan,

as attorney for the Town of Rockingham,

Vermont, filed a motion to intervene,

protest, and comments, as well as a

complaint and request for investigation

relating to events surrounding an

application filed August 16, 1996, by SR

Hydropower of Brockway Mills, Inc. to

surrender its license in Project No. 3131.

On December 16, 1996, John Rais filed

on behalf of SR Hydropower, Inc. and/

or SR Hydropower of Brockway Mills,

Inc. a response to Rockingham’s

November 1, 1996 filings.

On June 2, 1997, Paul Nolan, on

behalf of Rockingham filed a letter with

the Commission, asserting that the

December 16, 1996 filing by John Rais

was not timely filed, nor was a copy of

the filing served on Rockingingham or

Nolan, and should not be accepted for

filing. In the June 2, 1997 filing, Nolan

answered, in part, certain allegations by

Rais concerning a conflict of interest in

Nolan’s representation of Rockingham

in this matter, but reserved the right to

respond in full if the Commission

should accept Rais’s December 16, 1996

filing.

In light of the circumstances

described in Rais’s December 16, 1996

filing, and the fact that Rockingham has

now received a copy of the filing, the

filing is accepted. Any further answers

to the allegations in that filing

concerning Nolan’s conflict of interest,

or any other matter, must be made by

December 19, 1997.

Acting Secretary.
