[Docket No. CP99-572-000]


Distrigas of Massachusetts Corporation; Notice of Application

July 9, 1999.
    Take notice that on June 30, 1999, Distrigas of Massachusetts 
Corporation (DOMAC) file an abbreviated application for a certificate 
of public convenience and necessity and request for shortened 
procedures requesting authority to install, operate, and maintain a new 
supplemental hot water heater at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) 
terminal in Everett, Massachusetts. This filing may be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-
2222 for assistance).
    DOMAC states that it requires the new supplemental hot water heater 
to replace an inoperable supplemental heater, in order to ensure 
operational reliability and flexibility during ship unloadings and 
periods of high demand and to provide supplemental service to the hot 
water system supporting DOMAC's medium-pressure vaporization 
facilities. DOMAC has also requested issuance of temporary authority by 
August 9, 1999, if the Commission has not granted a certificate by that 
date, in order to complete installation and testing by the beginning of 
an anticipated period of increased terminal send out.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 30, 1999, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 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 and 385.211) and the Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (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. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules. The authorized 
contact person is Robert A. Nailling, Senior Counsel, Distrigas of 
Massachusetts Corporation, 75 State Street, 12th Floor, Boston, 
Massachusetts 02109, (617) 526-8300.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Section 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the 
Commission'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 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 DOMAC to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
