[Docket No. CP02-73-000]


Cargill, Incorporated, Complainant, v. Saltville Gas Storage 
Company, LLC, Respondent; Notice of Complaint

January 24, 2002.
    Take notice that on January 23, 2002, pursuant to sections 5, 7, 
and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Rule 206 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, Cargill, Incorporated, 
(Cargill) filed a Complaint against Saltville Gas Storage Company, LLC 
(``Saltville LLC'') requesting that the Commission issue an order 
requiring Saltville LLC to cease and desist from the construction of 
jurisdictional salt cavern storage facilities without a certificate. 
The Complaint alleges that Saltville LLC is attempting to circumvent 
the jurisdiction of this Commission by constructing and operating an 
interstate natural gas storage facility, in Saltville, Virginia under 
claim of State jurisdiction despite the fact that the overriding 
purpose of the facilities is to provide natural gas storage service in 
interstate commerce. Accordingly, Cargill respectfully requests that 
the Commission assert jurisdiction over Saltville LLC, order it to 
cease and desist from all construction activities, and require it to 
file an application for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity with this Commission. Alternatively, Cargill requests that 
the Commission issue a cease and desist order accompanied by an order 
requiring Saltville LLC to show cause why the proposed storage 
facilities are not subject to the Commission's NGA jurisdiction.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions or 
protests must be filed on or before February 12, 2001. 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 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Answers to the complaint shall also be due on or before 
February 12, 2001. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may
