Abstract: These collections are

necessary for the award and

administration of discretionary and

formula grants. The collections specific

to ED forms are part of the reinvented

process ED uses for awarding multi-year

discretionary grants. The new process

substantially increases flexibility of the

grant process by enabling all years of

multi-year budgets to be negotiated on

at the time of initial award, and to

submit only a performance report

instead of an entire noncompeting

continuation (NCC) package to receive

funding.

Commission

[Docket No. CP96–591–000]

Algonquin Gas Transmission; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

June 27, 1996.

Take notice that on June 21, 1996,

Algonquin Gas Transmission Company

(Algonquin), 1284 Soldiers Field Road,

Boston, Massachusetts 02135, filed in

Docket No. CP96–591–000 a request

pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.211 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the National Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for

authorization to construct and operate a

tap valve interconnecting its existing Tsystem in Milford, Massachusetts with

facilities constructed by Ball-Foster

Glass Container Co., L.L.C. (Ball-Foster),

under the blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP87–317–000, all as more

fully set forth in the request which is on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Algonquin states that the proposed

delivery facilities will consist of a tap,

meter and related data acquisition

system facilities which will be installed

by Algonquin within the existing rightof-way. Algonquin notes that Ball-Foster

will construct a regulator station and

miscellaneous piping on land it owns in

Milford, which is adjacent to

Algonquin’s right-of-way. Algonquin

asserts that the proposed addition of the

proposed facilities will have no impact

on its system-wide peak day deliveries

because the deliveries to Ball-Foster will

be interruptible, pursuant to

Algonquin’s Rate Schedule AIT–1.

Algonquin estimates the cost of facilities

to be constructed by Algonquin will be

$81.450. Ball-Foster has agreed to

reimburse Algonquin for constructing

these facilities. Algonquin notes that

Ball-Foster will pay for facilities it will

construct.

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) a 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

authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 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.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
