Richfield Gas Storage System; Notice of Petition for Waiver or 
Exemption of Certain Order Nos. 587 and 587-B Requirements and Request 
for Expedited Consideration

March 7, 1997.
    Take notice that on March 3, 1997, Richfield Gas Storage System 
(Richfield), filed a petition pursuant to Rule 207 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure for Waiver or exemption of the 
requirements concerning compliance with the Internet server model and 
the capability to perform Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 
transactions in Order Nos. 587 and 587-B, all as more fully set forth 
in the petition of file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Richfield states that compliance with the Internet server model and 
the ability to perform EDI transactions is not necessary on the 
Richfield system in order to achieve the Commission's goals. Richfield 
states that the incremental expense of compliance with the Internet 
server model and the ability to perform EDI transactions is significant 
to Richfield, and the benefits to Richfield's customers are nonexistent 
given the nature of the Richfield system. Richfield requests that the 
commission waive compliance with the Internet server model and the 
ability to perform EDI transactions while consideration of its petition 
is pending. Richfield requests expedited consideration.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this petition should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests should be filed on or 
before March 14, 1997. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to 
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Copies of this filing are 
on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in 
the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
