applicable to negotiated rates under

Rate Schedules FT–2 and FT–3, and that

capacity would be available at a costbased recourse rate under Rate

Schedules FT–1 and IT–1. It is indicated

that for rates negotiated with customers

following Commission authorization to

charge such rates, Dauphin Island will

file conforming tariff sheets indicating

that the rate for the service will be either

the rates stated on its existing rate

schedule or a rate mutually agreed upon

by the pipeline and customer. It is also

indicated that, when a rate is negotiated,

Dauphin Island will file a numbered

tariff sheet stating the exact legal name

of the customer and the negotiated rate

for the service. It is stated that

permitting Dauphin Island to negotiate

rates with customers at mutually agreed

levels will promote competition, and

permit them to tailor contracts to meet

the specific needs of each shipper.

It is stated that the tariff filed by

Dauphin Island is substantially similar

to those recently approved by the

Commission in Garden Banks Gas

Pipeline, L.L.C., Docket No. CP96–307–

000 and Shell Gas Pipeline Company,

Docket No. CP96–159–000, except for

service under Rate Schedule FT–3, and

except for the following differences: in

the Dauphin Island tariff, service is

provided on a dekatherm rather than

volumetric basis; the Dauphin Island

tariff includes an overrun service;

secondary receipt points are not

available to shippers under Dauphin

Island Rate Schedules FT–2 and FT–3;

in Dauphin Island’s tariff, all delivery

points are available to all shippers based

upon confirmation by the downstream

pipeline; a charge of $3.50 per barrel

will be charged by Dauphin Island for

recovery of liquid hydrocarbons; at the

request of the shipper, Dauphin Island

may enter into contracts for various

services with third parties and charge

the cost to shipper as an ‘‘Other Charge’’

under the rate schedule; under Dauphin

Island’s tariff, a capacity release can be

released only into Rate Schedule FT–1;

and Dauphin Island may process

shipper’s gas if the shipper does not

process; additionally, the term:

equivalent quantities’’, some quality

specifications, nomination procedures,

the effect of force majeure on payment

of reservation rates, and the resolution

of monthly imbalances have been

changed.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before April 4,

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 or 385.211) and the Regulations

under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR

157.10). All protests filed with the

taken but will not serve to make the

protestants parties to the proceeding.

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 and permission and approval

for the proposed abandonment are

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 Dauphin Island to

appear or be represented at the hearing.
