on August 18, 1987 in Docket No. CP87-203-000,\1\ pursuant to Section 7 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Federal Energy

which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 40 FERC para. 61,185 (1987).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CNG seeks to expand the certificated boundaries of the Tioga 
Storage Pool. CNG says the proposed new boundary will reflect the full 
extent of the area currently used for storage. CNG also seeks 
authorization for a 2000 foot protective boundary around the storage 
pool. Additionally, CNG requests authorization to convert two 
observation wells to injection/withdrawal wells.
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 1, 1999, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
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 
NGA (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. The 
Commission's rules require that protestors provide copies of their 
protests to the party or person to whom the protests are directed. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commisson's Rules.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file 
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review 
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments 
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other 
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14 
copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court. The Commission will consider all comments and 
concerns equally, whether filed by commenters or those requesting 
intervenor status.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the commission by 
Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commssion's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice 
before the Commission or its designee on this application if no motion 
to intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the 
Commission on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the 
certificate is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on 
its own motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further 
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for CNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
