Bridgeline Gas Distribution LLC; Notice of Petition for Rate 
Approval

September 11, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 27, 1996, Bridgeline Gas Distribution 
LLC (Bridgeline) filed pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2) of the 
Commission's regulations, a petition for rate approval requesting that 
the Commission approve the proposed rates as fair and equitable for 
transportation and storage services performed under section 311 of the 
Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA).
    Bridgeline states that it is a local distribution company with a 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP93-190 authorizing it to 
engage in NGPA Section 311 services as if it were an intrastate 
pipeline. Bridgeline owns and operates transportation and storage 
facilities in the State of Louisiana.
    Bridgeline proposes an effective date of September 1, 1996.
    Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the filing date, the rates will be deemed to be 
fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate 
pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar transportation 
service. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day 
period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford 
parties an opportunity for written comments and for the oral 
presentation of views, data, and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or protest in accordance with sections 
385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure. All motions or protests must be filed with the Secretary of 
the Commission on or before September 26, 1996. The petition for rate 
approval is on file with the Commission and is available for public 
inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
