[Docket No. CP89-629-033]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment

November 21, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 15, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed an 
abbreviated application in Docket No. CP89-629-033, pursuant to Section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, to amend the certificate of public 
convenience and necessity previously issued in this proceeding to 
accommodate two shippers' requests for additional receipt and delivery 
points, all as more fully set forth in the amendment which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennnessee states that on November 14, 1990, it received Section 
7(c) authorization to provide, inter alia, firm transportation service 
on behalf of Selkirk Cogen Partners, L.P. (Selkirk) and Orchard Gas 
Corporation (Orchard) (as agent for both MASSPOWER and Granite State 
Gas Transmission, Inc.).\1\ Tennessee states that each shipper has 
requested an additional delivery point and an additional receipt point 
to ensure its ability to fully utilize the service under its firm 
transportation agreement. Selkirk and Orchard state that the additional 
receipt and delivery points are required in the event of any 
modifications in gas requirements at their cogeneration plants due to 
either temporary outages at the plants or unavailability of their gas 
supplies.

    \1\ 53 FERC para. 61,194 (1990).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tennessee states the addition of these points would not increase 
the shippers' current maximum daily contract quantities under their 
respective transportation agreements. In addition, the requested points 
for each shipper are located between the shipper's existing firm 
receipt and delivery points. Tennessee states that it has sufficient 
capacity to accommodate these requests without adversely affecting 
service to other firm customers and without the construction of new 
facilities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before December 12, 1996, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE, 
Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules and 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 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 of 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
