[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 14 (Thursday, January 22, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 3320] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-1444] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP97-159-009] Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request for Extension of Waiver January 15, 1998. Take notice that on November 26, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) filed in Docket No. RP97-159-009 a request pursuant to 18 CFR Sec. 385.2008 for extension of waiver to permit Transco to continue to use non-standard GISB data elements and datasets for an additional six months until June 1, 1998. Transco states that a May 15, 1997, Commission Order on Compliance Filing and rehearing (79 FERC para. 61,172 (1997), granted a waiver to permit Transco to use non-standard data elements and datasets until December 1, 1997, so that implementation of the Internet electronic communication standards can proceed while GISB is considering requests for modification of the datasets. Transco states that its requests for modification are still pending before GISB, and that under the circumstances, good cause exists for the Commission to grant Transco an extension of the waiver granted in the May 15 order to allow GISB additional time for consideration of Transco's requests. Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426 in accordance with Section 385.211 of the commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on or before January 23, 1998. 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 application are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
