CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

April 17, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 4, 1996, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-298-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) \1\ of 
the Natural Gas Act for authorization to amend an existing service 
agreement applicable to the storage of natural gas under Rate Schedule 
GSS between CNG and Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) to add, on a 
secondary basis, a new storage receipt point, all as more fully set 
forth

[[Page 17890]]

in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CNG filed its request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.211), however, CNG's request is being treated 
as a Section 7(c) application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CNG states that LILCO, a local distribution company, has requested, 
and CNG has agreed to add, on a secondary basis, a new storage 
injection receipt point at an existing interconnection between CNG and 
Iroquois Pipeline Company, known as Canajoharie, to the existing GSS 
Service Agreement between CNG and LILCO dated January 1, 1996.
    CNG states that the utilization of the Canajoharie receipt point as 
a storage injection receipt point will only be used as operating 
conditions permit, and that since the interconnect already exists, no 
new facilities are required.
    CNG states that the addition of this secondary receipt point will 
not disadvantage any existing CNG customer and does not change LILCO's 
GSS Storage injection quantities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 29, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 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 the authority contained in 
and subject to the 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 Procedure, 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 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 CNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
