Vermont Gas Systems, Inc.; Notice of

Application To Amend Presidential

Permit and Section 3 Authorization

April 10, 1997.

Take notice that on April 1, 1997,

Vermont Gas Systems, Inc. (Vermont

Gas), 85 Swift Street, South Burlington,

Vermont 05401, filed in Docket No.

CP97–324–000 an application to amend

its Presidential Permit, originally issued

in Docket No. CP65–141–000 on

November 17, 1964, and amended by

the Commission on September 23, 1983,

and to amend its existing Section 3

authorization to import natural gas

through facilities at the international

border (Border Facilities) between the

United States and Canada at a point

near Highgate Springs, Vermont, all as

more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Specifically, Vermont Gas requests

the Commission to clarify and restate

the facilities subject to its existing

Presidential Permit to include only the

pipeline that passes under the border

and the border-station facilities

consisting of approximately 44 feet of 8-

inch O.D. pipeline which connects with

the facilities of TransCanada Pipe Lines

Limited at the International Boundary

between the United States and Canada

at a point near Highgate Springs,

Vermont, and, by amendment beginning

in August 1997, to authorize Vermont

Gas to site, construct, connect, operate

and maintain certain additional borderstation facilities. These facilities will be

constructed as part of Vermont Gas’

future looping of its existing, nonjurisdictional pipeline facilities south of

the international border.

In addition, Vermont Gas seeks to

amend its existing Section 3

authorization to allow it to site,

construct and operate the Border

Facilities to import up to 52,000 Mcf per

day of natural gas from Canada.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 1,

1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, N.E., 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 C.F.R. 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 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

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 the application

should be approved. If a motion for

leave to intervene is timely filed, or if

the Commission on its 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 Vermont Gas to appear

or be represented at the hearing.
