[Docket No. CP87-132-015]


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. CP87-132-015, 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 a shipper's request for an additional receipt and delivery 
point, all as more fully set forth in the amendment which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee states that on October 3, 1988, it received Section 7(c) 
authorization to provide, inter alia, firm transportation service on 
behalf of Ocean State Power (Ocean State).\1\ Tennessee states that 
Ocean State 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. Ocean State asserts 
that the additional receipt and delivery points are required in the 
event of any modifications in gas requirements at its cogeneration 
plants due to either temporary outages at the plants or unavailability 
of its gas supplies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 45 FERC para. 61,010 (1988); order on rehearing, 45 FERC 
para. 61,324 (1988); order on rehearing, 55 FERC para. 61,480 
(1991).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tennessee states the addition of these points would not increase 
Ocean State's current maximum daily contract quantities under its 
transportation agreement. In addition, the requested points for Ocean 
State are located between its 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, 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 385.214 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 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
