filed, in Docket No. CP96-199-004, a petition to amend the order issued 
on October 7, 1996 as amended on January 11, 1997,\1\ pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations to drill an additional

    Egan Hub states that it is currently authorized to operate four 
brine disposal wells, Wells Nos. 1, 1, 3, and 4, and to dispose of up 
to 4000 gallons of waste brine per minute. Egan Hub further states that 
due to a blockage in Well No. 2 and to deteriorating brine absorption 
rates in Well Nos. 1, 3, and 4, Egan Hub is no longer able to achieve 
necessary brine disposal rates. Therefore, Egan Hub seeks authorization 
to drill a new brine disposal well, Well No. 5, to restore its disposal 
capability to the required level, but within the certificated rate of 
4000 gallons per minute.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition to amend should on or before May 20, 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
