Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership and Ocean Energy 
Resources, Inc.; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order

May 22, 2000.
    Take notice that on May 18, 2000, Great Lakes Gas Transmission 
Limited Partnership (Great Lakes) and Ocean Energy Resources, Inc. 
(Ocean) (jointly the parties) pursuant to Rule 207 of the Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207, of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, tendered for filing a Request for Declaratory 
order concerning application of Great Lakes' right of First Refusal 
procedures.
    The parties jointly request that the Commission declare whether the 
``primary term'' of the 6-19-98 FT254 shall be determined by reference 
to the contract date stated in Section 1 and the effective date stated 
in Section 7, or by reference to the term of service stated in Section 
6.
    Great Lakes and Ocean ask the Commission to identify the ``primary 
terms'' of Service Agreement FT254, for purposes of determining whether 
Section 16(a) or 16(b) of the Right of First Refusal procedures of 
Great Lakes' FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, should 
apply. The parties respectfully request the Commission to issue a final 
Declaratory Order prior to the July 31, 2000 closing date of the Open 
Season for the 6-19-98 FTS254 capacity now posted on Great Lakes' 
Electronic Bulletin Board, so that neither Ocean nor any bidder may be 
harmed by the outcome of these proceedings.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or 
before June 19, 2000. 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. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a motion to intervene. 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
