and reasonable rate design for X–38 is

roll-in Algonquin’s other transportation

services.

New England states that the proper

rate design does not differ whether the

X–38 facilities are evaluated under the

Battle Creek test—the test in effect when

New England made substantial financial

commitments in contracting for X–38

service—or under the Commission’s

recent Pricing Policy Statement.

New England requests that the

Commission direct Algonquin to restate

its X–38 rates on a rolled-in basis. New

England asserts that if the Commission

does not summarily require Algonquin

to roll-in X–38, it should set this matter

for an expedited hearing. New England

states that at present, New England pays

unreasonable rates while other

customers free-ride on the system-wide

benefits provided by X–38. Because

New England is raising this roll-in issue

under Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act,

relief may be prospective only.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said complaint 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 Rules 214

and 211 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214,

385.211. All such motions or protests

should be filed on or before May 31,

1996. Protests will be considered by the

Commission in determining the

appropriate actions to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. 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. Answers

to this complaint shall be due on or

before May 31, 1996.

well as certain inactive facilities located

NGT proposes to abandon a

transportation agreement with

Reynolds, dated March 12, 1959, on file

transportation agreement for Rate

Schedule XT–17 provides that NGT

transports natural gas to four plants

owned by Reynolds located in Arkansas,

the Rolling Mills-North, Gum Springs,

Jones Mills and Hurricane Creek plants.

NGT states that transportation under

Rate Schedule XT–17 has been replaced

by a Part 284 transportation agreement

pursuant to NGT’s tariff and that the

replaced agreement has been terminated

pursuant to a mutual written agreement

of the parties. NGT states that the

Reynolds Hurricane Creek plant has

been shut down and NGT no longer

provides service to this plant. NGT

proposes to abandon the inactive

facilities previously used to deliver gas

to the Hurricane Creek plant. These

inactive facilities consists of one 4-inch

tap, two 6-inch turbine meters, two

meter tubes and two 2-inch regulators.

All other existing facilities used to

deliver gas to Reynolds’ active plants

will remain in service.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 24,

1996, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, NE., Washington, DC 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

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

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 NGT to appear or be

represented at the hearing.
