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.
