Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP96-69-000]


CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

December 12, 1995.
    Take notice that on November 14, 1995, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNGT), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-69-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a portion of a 
storage service provided to Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) under 
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations and instead provide additional 
storage service under Part 284 blanket authorization, all as more fully 
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.\1\

    \1\CNGT filed corrected pages 1, 3 and 4 of the application on 
December 1, 1995.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CNGT proposes to abandon 101,342 Dt of the Storage Capacity that 
has been allocated to LILCO under an October 1, 1993, Part 157 Service 
Agreement, and provided under CNGT's Rate Schedule GSS, in order that 
101,342 Dt of additional Storage Capacity may be provided under CNGT's 
Part 284 blanket authorization.
    CNGT states that the Commission originally authorized CNGT to 
provide this storage capacity to Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation 
on behalf of LILCO, for a three-year term, as part of the storage 
services that were approved in Docket No. CP83-386 (25 FERC para.61,355 
(1983)). CNGT further states that the term of this certificated storage 
service was subsequently extended by Commission order in Docket No. 
CP84-306 (29 FERC para.61,032 (1984)). CNGT also states that these Part 
157 entitlements were transferred to LILCO as part of CNGT's Order No. 
636 restructuring proceeding, in Docket No. RS92-14-005, et al. (64 
FERC para.61,303 (1993)).
    CNGT additionally states that the proposed partial abandonment of 
this service is consistent with the Stipulation and Agreement filed 
June 28, 1995, in CNGT Docket No. RP94-96-012, et al., particularly the 
settlement mitigation for Phase II Billing Determinants more fully 
described in Appendix ``D'' of CNGT's filing, and will result in an 
increase in LILCO's GSS Billing Determinants from 34,137 Dt/d to 35,814 
Dt/d, which will be offset by a decrease in LILCO's FTNN Billing 
Determinants from 27,689 Dt/d to 26,012 Dt/d.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 2, 1996, 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 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 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 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 CNGT to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
