[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 49 (Thursday, March 13, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 11855] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-6284] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. RP97-277-000] 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.
