Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-590-000]


McDay Energy Partners, Ltd.; Notice of Petition for Declaratory 
Order

July 30, 1999.
    Take notice that on July 22, 1999, McDay Energy Partners, Ltd. 
(McDay Energy), filed in Docket No. CP99-590-000 an application 
pursuant to Section 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Rule 207(a)(2) 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.207 
(a)(2)), for a declaratory order disclaiming Commission jurisdiction 
under Section 1(b) of the NGA over certain facilities to be acquired 
from Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) in a companion filing in 
Docket No. CP99-552-000, all as more fully set forth in the application 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing 
may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm 
(call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Specifically, McDay Energy seeks a declaratory order from the 
Commission finding that the approximately 26 miles of 12-inch pipeline 
and appurtenant facilities located in Zavala and Dimmitt Counties, 
Texas, once acquired and integrated into McDay Energy's existing 
gathering lines, will perform a gathering function as defined under the 
Commission's modified primary function test, and therefore, should be 
exempt from Commission jurisdiction under Section 1(b) of the NGA.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before August 20, 1999, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, 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 384.214 or 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
