[Docket No. CP97-187-000]


Honeoye Storage Corporation; Notice of Application

January 14, 1997.
    Take notice that on January 8, 1997, Honeoye Storage Corporation 
(Honeoye), One State Street, Suite 1200, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-187-000, an application pursuant to Section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon 
storage service of 6,814 MMBtu per day of Average Daily Withdrawal 
Quantity (ADWQ) for Long Island Lighting Company (Lilco), and pursuant 
to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, to authorize the allocation of 
the abandoned service to two new customers, Providence Gas Company 
(Providence), and ProMark Energy, Inc. (ProMark), all as more fully set 
forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Honeoye states that on March 21, 1996, Lilco notified Honeoye that 
Lilco was terminating its Service Agreement with Honeoye effective 
March 31, 1997 in accordance with Article Five of its Service 
Agreement. Honeoye indicates that currently Lilco is entitled to 
1,226,400 MMBtu of Maximum Quantities Storage (MQS), and a Maximum 
Daily Withdrawal Quantity (MDWQ) of 10,220 MMBtu per day. Honeoye 
hereby requests authorization to abandon such service in accordance 
with Lilco's wishes.
    Honeoye also states that it conducted an open season, offerring 
potential customers the service to be relinquished by Lilco under the 
terms, conditions, and rate of Honeoye's existing tariff. Honeoye 
further states that as a result of such open season, Honeoye proposes 
to provide the abandoned service in equal proportions to Providence and 
ProMark.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before January 24, 1997, 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

[[Page 3032]]

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 abandonment 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 procedure provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for Honeoye to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
