    Millennium proposes to modify facilities interconnecting 
Millennium's system with the system of Empire Pipeline, Inc. (Empire) 
by replacing two existing valves and adding six new valves and piping 
at Millennium's Corning compressor station in Steuben County. 
Millennium also proposes to increase the maximum allowable operating 
pressure (MAOP) of the Corning compressor station discharge piping from 
1200 psig to 1350 psig. Millennium states that the increased MAOP is 
necessary to permit it to occasionally reverse the flow of natural gas 
on its system to transport natural gas from either its 30-inch diameter 
mainline system or its A5-West pipeline via the Corning compressor 
station onto the facilities of Empire, which operate at an MAOP of 1300 
psig. Millennium further states that the activity associated with the 
Corning Flow Reversal Project will not increase Millennium's mainline 
capacity. Finally, Millennium estimates that the proposed modifications 
would cost $3,400,000 to construct.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Gary
