DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP96-199-002]


Egan Hub Partners, L.P.; Notice of Petition To Amend

December 13, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 11, 1996, Egan Hub Partners, L.P. 
(Egan Hub) 44084 Riverside Parkway, Suite 340, Leesburg, Virginia 
20176, filed, in Docket No. CP96-199-002, an application pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations to amend the 
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued in Docket No. 
CP96-199-000 et al. on October 7, 1996 authorizing Egan Hub to adjust 
the operating capacity of its existing storage cavern at Egan Hub's 
salt dome storage facility in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    In the Commission's October 7, 1996 order, Egan Hub was authorized 
to operate two natural gas salt dome storage caverns with a total 
operating capacity of 9.5 Bcf. One cavern (Cavern I) is currently 
operational with a capacity of 4.5 Bcf. The second cavern (Cavern II) 
will be constructed by late 1997 with a capacity of 5.0 Bcf. Egan Hub 
seeks authorization to increase the operating capacity of Cavern I from 
4.5 Bcf to 6.0 Bcf. Egan Hub says the proposed capacity increase in 
Cavern I will be offset by a reduction in the Cavern II capacity so 
that the total operating capacity of the two caverns would continue to 
be limited to the certificated total capacity of 9.5 Bcf.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before December 23, 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 permission and approval for the proposed construction and 
operations are 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 procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be

unnecessary for Egan Hub to appear or be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
