3Even if the rehearing request had not been

interlocutory, it would have to be dismissed since

a request for rehearing may be filed only by a party

to the proceeding. With regard to post-licensing

proceedings, the Commission only entertains

motions to intervene where the filings at issue

entail material changes in the plan of project

development or in the terms and conditions of the

license, or could adversely affect the rights of

property-holders in a manner not contemplated by

the license. See Kings River Conservation District,

36 FERC ¶ 61,365 (1986). Such was not the case

here. Thus, notice of this proceeding was not

issued, and motions to intervene were not

entertained.

Felts Mills Energy Partners, L.P.;

Notice Dismissing Request for

Rehearing

May 13, 1998.

On March 17, 1998, the Director,

Office of Hydropower Licensing, issued

an order granting to the licensee for the

Felts Mills Project No. 4715 an

extension of time to comply with the

requirements of Articles 205 and 405 of

its license. On April 17, 1998, New York

Rivers United filed a request for

rehearing of the Director’s order.

Rule 713 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure provides that

rehearing may be sought only with

respect to a ‘‘final Commission decision

or other final order.’’ 1 The Director’s

order in this case, allowing the licensee

additional time to submit its plan and

aperture cards, is interlocutory, and is

not therefore subject to rehearing.2

Accordingly, New York Rivers United’s

request for rehearing is dismissed.3

This notice constitutes final agency

action. Requests for rehearing by the

Commission of this dismissal notice

may be filed within 30 days of the date

of issuance of this notice, pursuant to 18

CFR 385.713.

Acting Secretary.

[Docket No. CP98–515–000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Request Under

Blanket Authorization

May 13, 1998.

Take notice that on May 4, 1998,

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco), Post Office Box

1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in

Docket No. CP98–515–000, a request

pursuant to Section 157.205 and

157.211 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for

authorization to construct and operate a

sales tap for Frontier Energy (Frontier),

a North Carolina natural gas local

distribution and transmission pipeline

company, under Trancso’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

426–000, pursuant to 18 CFR Part 157,

Subpart F of the Natural Gas Act, all as

more fully set forth in the request which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Transco states that the sales tap

would consist of two six-inch valve tap

assemblies, a meter station with two sixinch meter runs and other appurtenant

facilities near milepost 1308.45 on

Transco’s mainline in Rowan County,

North Carolina. Transco further states

that Frontier would construct, or cause

to be constructed, appurtenent facilities

as part of a new ‘‘greenfield’’ natural gas

distribution project to enable it to

receive gas from Transco at the sales tap

and redeliver the gas to serve several

counties in northwestern North Carolina

which do not have current access to

natural gas.

Transco also states that the new sales

tap would be used by Frontier to receive

up to 45,000 dekatherms of gas per day

from Transco. It is stated that the gas

delivered through the new sales tap

would be received by Frontier for

redeliveries in its capacity as a new

local distribution company. Transco

states that Frontier is not currently a

transportation customer of Transco. It is

further stated that upon completion of

the sales tap, Transco would commence

transportation service to Frontier

pursuant to Transco’s Rate Schedules

FT–R or IT and Part 284(G) of the

Commission’s regulations. Moreover,

Transco states that Frontier may have

access in the future to Rate Schedule FT

service in the event Frontier becomes a

replacement shipper for a permanent

release of firm capacity or if new firm

capacity becomes available through an

expansion of Transco’s system. Transco

states that the addition of the sales tap

would have no significant impact on

Transco’s peak day or annual deliveries,

and is not prohibited by Transco’s FERC

Gas Tariff.

Transco further states that the

estimated total costs of Transco’s

proposed facilities would be

approximately $474,000. It is also stated

that Frontier would reimburse Transco

for all costs associated with such

facilities.

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) 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 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.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.
