Honeoye Storage Corporation; Notice of Proposed Change in FERC 
Gas Tariff

October 3, 2000.
    Take notice that on September 28, 2000 Honeoye Storage Corporation 
(Honeoye) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second 
Revised Volume 1, the following tariff sheet to be effective October 
10, 2000:

First Revised Sheet No. 22B

    Honeoye states that the purpose of the filing is to establish a new 
proposed Article XIX to the General Terms and Conditions of its Part 
157 gas tariff that affords customers the right to make title transfers 
of top gas or cushion gas in the Honeoye Storage Field, but limits the 
availability of such title transfer authority of gas in place to only 
upon contract termination. Honeoye further requests that the Commission 
waive the requirements of Section 154.207 of its regulation so that 
revised tariff sheet may be made effective October 10, 2000 so that 
Honeoye may make arrangements to dispose of cushion gas and top gas 
which remains in the Honeoye gas field after termination of the 
Providence Gas Company gas storage agreement on March 31, 2000.
    Honeoye states that its filing is consistent with the Commission's 
September 14, 2000 letter order in Docket No. RP00-455-000 which, among 
other matters, rejected without prejudice Honeoye's proposed tariff 
provision designed to grant its customers the right to make title 
transfers to other customers of gas which is held in the Honeoye gas 
field. The Commission's September 14 letter order found that the title 
transfer right provided more flexibility to Part 157 customers than is 
allowed under Commission policy. However, the Commission stated that 
its rejection of this provision was without prejudice to Honeoye's 
right to file a tariff provision limiting title transfers to only upon 
contract termination.
    Honeoye states that copies of the filing are being mailed to 
Honeoye's jurisdictional customers and interested state regulatory 
agencies.
    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 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed in 
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
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).
