January 17, 1996.
    Take notice that on January 11, 1996, Transcontinental Gas Pipe

filed an 

[[Page 1755]]
application in Docket No. CP96-134-000 pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) regulations, for a certificate of public 
convenience and necessity authorizing the construction and operation of 
taps on Transco's mainline system in Guilford County, North Carolina to 
connect with inlet and outlet pipelines to be constructed by Pine 
Needle LNG Company, LLC (Pine Needle) as part of its liquefied natural 
gas (LNG) storage proposal filed in Docket No. CP96-52-000. Further 
details on Transco's proposal are contained in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Transco proposes to install two 10-inch taps which 
will be used for deliveries of gas from Transco's system into Pine 
Needle's 10-inch inlet pipeline, and three 20-inch taps which will be 
used for receipts of gas into Transco's system from Pine Needle's 24-
inch outlet pipeline. The taps will be located at milepost 1356.95 on 
Transco's mainline system. Transco says Pine Needle will reimburse 
Transco for the cost of the taps which Transco estimates at $707,679.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make a protest with reference 
to said application should on or before January 24, 1996, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 385.211 or 
385.214) 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 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 Procedures, 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 a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If 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 Transco to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
