submittals constitute a complete filing. Applicant also petitioned for

    In accordance with the Commission's final rule on the 
interpretation of ``waste'' natural gas (Order No. 471, Docket No. 
RM87-18-000, 39 FERC 61,169 (1987)), the applications for 
certification are being re-noticed to identify more accurately the 
proposed facility's primary energy source in the form of ``waste'' 
natural gas, to notify potential buyers that may have been overlooked 
by the Applicant of the opportunity to purchase the gas, and to ensure 
that potential buyers that were notified were not willing to purchase 
the gas under reasonable terms and conditions.
    The facility, which is located in Allegheny, New York, consists of 
three internal combustion engine generators with a maximum electric 
power production capacity of 790 kW. According to the Applicant, the 
primary energy source of the facility is waste gas. Thermal energy 
recovered from the facility is used to heat a greenhouse. Installation 
of the facility commenced in February of 1984.

Supplemental ``Waste'' Natural Gas Information

    According to the applicant, the primary energy source of the 
facility will be ``waste'' natural gas produced from several oil wells 
located in the vicinity of the facility. Applicant provided quality 
characteristics of two samples of the ``waste'' natural gas. The first 
sample has a heat content of 1335.4 BTU/SCF and is chiefly composed of 
methane--70.5%, ethane--20.3%, propane--5.6%, iso-butane--.64%, n-
butane--1.6%, and smaller amounts of other gases. The second sample has 
a heat content of 1473.6 BTU/SCF and is chiefly composed of methane--
61.1%, ethane--23.7%, propane--8.3%, iso-butane--1.1%, n-butane--2.7%, 
and smaller amounts of other gases. The wells are currently producing 
between 0-190 MCF/day of natural gas. Applicant states that the 
``waste'' gas was offered for sale to Columbia Gas Company and National 
Gas Company and both refused to buy. Any person interested in 
purchasing this gas is encouraged to file a response with the 
Commission expressing such desire.
    Comment date: September 23, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice.
