Longhorn Partners Pipeline, L.P.; Notice of Petition for 
Declaratory Order, Application for Authority To Charge Market-Based 
Rates, and Request for Waiver

March 26, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 19, 1998, Longhorn Partners Pipeline, 
L.P., filed a petition for declaratory order, under Rule 207(a)(2) of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure [18 CFR 
385.207(a)(2)], and application for a market power determination, under 
Part 348 of the Commission's regulations [18 CFR Part 348]. Longhorn 
also seeks waiver of section 342.2 of the Commission's regulations (18 
CFR 342.2).
    Longhorn states that it presently is engaged in the conversion and 
construction of an oil pipeline and expects to file initial rates in 
October 1998 and commence operations as a common carrier of refined 
petroleum products in November 1998. Before filing its initial rates, 
Longhorn seeks an advance determination by the Commission that it will 
not have market power at its origin in Galena Park, Texas, or at its 
destination at the El Paso, Texas, gateway. Longhorn also requests a 
waiver of section 342.2 of the Commission's regulations to allow it to 
justify initial rates by a market power determination.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest Longhorn's filing 
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with sections 385.211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All motions or 
protests should be filed on or before April 27, 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. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection in the public reference room.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
