888 First Street, NE, 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 Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests 
filed with the Commission will be considered by it in determining the 
appropriate action to take 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 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA 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 
petition 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 requested exemption 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 CNYOG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
