[Docket No. RP98-206-005]


Atlanta Gas Light Company; Notice of Filing

June 25, 1999.
    Take notice that on June 22, 1999, Atlanta Gas Light Company 
(Atlanta) tendered for filing a request for extension of the waivers 
and limited jurisdiction blanket certificate granted by the Commission 
in its ``Order Issuing Limited-Term, Limited-Jurisdiction Blanket 
Certificate, Amending Certificates for a Limited Term, and Granting 
Temporary Waivers'' issued on July 31, 1998 in the above-captioned 
proceeding (July 31 Order).
    Atlanta requests that the Commission grant an extension of the 
waivers and other authorizations granted in the July 31 Order in order 
to enable Atlanta to continue to implement the interstate capacity 
assignment provisions of Georgia's retail natural gas unbundling 
program beyond the October 31, 1999 expiration date of the 
authorizations granted in the July 31 Order. To provide certainty for 
parties participating in the Georgia program, Atlanta requests that the 
Commission extend the waivers and other authorizations until March 31, 
2003, or the time that the affected interstate services either expire, 
are made directly assignable, or are converted to Part 284 service, 
whichever occurs sooner. In addition, Atlanta requests that the 
Commission expand Atlanta's waiver of Section 284.243(h)(2) of the 
Commission's regulations to enable Atlanta to pass through to marketers 
the benefits of discount and negotiated rate arrangements Atlanta may 
enter into in the future, in addition to the existing Southern discount 
arrangement. Atlanta further requests that the Commission act on its 
request by July 28, 1999, to enable Atlanta and its marketers to make 
the necessary arrangements and adjustments with interstate pipeline 
suppliers prior to October 1, 1999, when it is anticipated that Atlanta 
will exit the merchant function.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 285.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on 
or before July 2, 1999. 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 proceedings. Copies of this filing 
are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection 
in the Public Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance).
