High Island Offshore System; Notice of Motion for Extension of 
Time

September 30, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 18, 1998, High Island Offshore System 
(HIOS), pursuant to Rules 212 and 2008 of the Rules of Practice and 
Procedure of the Commission, 18 CFR 385.212 and 385.2008, tendered for 
filing a request for an extension of time for the filing of its next 
general rate case pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Natural Gas Act.
    HIOS states that by Letter Order issued September 11, 1995, the 
Commission approved an uncontested settlement in the captioned rate 
proceeding. Article V of the uncontested settlement provided that HIOS 
would file its next general rate case under Section 4(e) ``by the end 
of three (3) years of the date of a final, non-appealable Commission 
order approving the Agreement without conditions unacceptable to 
HIOS''.
    HIOS requests that the deadline in the captioned proceeding by 
which it must file its next general rate case under Section 4(e) of the 
Act be extended to no later than January 1, 2003, and that the time 
period for filing answers to the uncontested motion be shortened to the 
maximum extent possible.
    Any person desiring to file an answer to this filing should file an 
answer with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE, Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.213 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such answers must be filed 
within 15 days after HIOS' motion was filed. Answers will be considered 
by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, 
but will not serve to make persons who file answers parties to the 
proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
