[Docket No. RP02-496-000]


Pine Needle LNG Company, LLC; Notice of Request for Waiver

August 21, 2002.
    Take notice that on August 1, 2002, Pine Needle LNG Company, LLC 
(Pine Needle) tendered for filing a request for waiver to comply with 
Order No. 587-O and certain North American Energy Standards Board 
(NAESB) Standards. Pine Needle asserts that it sought and received an 
exemption from the imbalance netting and trading requirements of Order 
No. 587-L, which the Commission granted on October 27, 2000. Pine 
Needle states that subsequently, the Commission issued Order No. 587-O 
which requires pipelines to comply with NAESB Version 1.5, including 
standards relating to imbalance netting and trading, i.e., Standards 
2.4.9-2.4.16. Pine Needle alleges that since it has been granted an 
exemption from providing imbalance netting and trading to shippers on 
its system and believes it unnecessary to comply with standards related 
to this service, Pine Needle therefore requests wavier of the Version 
1.5 Standards related to imbalance netting and trading. Pine Needle 
also indicates that it does not offer any transportation services. Pine 
Needle contends that because the title transfer tracking standards 
required by Order No. 587-O relate to transportation services, these 
standards are not applicable to a system only offering storage 
services, therefore, Pine Needle requests a waiver of these standards. 
The issues raised by Pine Needle in its August 1, 2002 filing regarding 
waiver of Order No. 587-O will be addressed in the above-docketed 
proceeding.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 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 August 29, 2002. 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. This filing is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or 
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using 
the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
