Enron Energy Services, Inc. Enron

Capital & Trade Resources Corp.;

Notice of Petition For Limited Waiver

May 21, 1998.

Take notice that on May 15, 1998,

Enron Energy Services, Inc. (EES) and

Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp.

(ECT) (collectively Petitioners) tendered

for filing a petition for limited waiver of

Section 284.243 of the Commission’s

regulations and related Commission

policy pursuant to Rule 101(e) and 207

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure.

Petitioners seek a limited waiver of

the Commission’s regulations regarding

the assignment of capacity and the

Commission’s general policy that a

shipper of natural gas on an interstate

pipeline must have title to the gas being

shipped from the point of receipt to the

point of delivery. Petitioners request

that the waiver apply only to their

transfers of title in transit to Petitioners’

sales customers in New York State

served by any of five interstate

pipelines, CNG Transmission

Corporation (CNG), Columbia Gas

Transmission Corporation (Columbia),

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation

(NFG), Tennessee Gas Pipeline

Company (Tennessee), and

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco).

Due to the adverse competitive

situation created in New York State as

a result of our competitors’

interpretation of the ‘‘shippers must

have title’’ policy and the Commission’s

capacity release regulations, Petitioners

request expedited Commission action

on this request in order to permit

Petitoners to utilize the same marketing

mechanisms being used by their

competitors.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC.

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests must be

filed on or before May 28, 1998. Protests

will be considered by the Commission

in determining the appropriate action to

be taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the public Reference

Room.
