Corning Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

September 18, 2008.
    Take notice that on September 9, 2008, Corning Natural Gas Company 
(Corning), 330 W. William Street, Corning, New York 14830, filed in 
Docket No. CP08-472-000, an application pursuant to section 7(f) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting the determination of a service area 
within which Corning may, without further Commission authorization, 
enlarge or expand its natural gas distribution facilities. Corning also 
requests a waiver of the Commission's accounting and reporting 
requirements and other regulatory requirements ordinarily applicable to 
natural gas companies under the NGA and the NGPA and such further 
relief the Commission may deem appropriate, all as more fully set forth 
in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Corning proposes to connect its natural gas distribution system 
(which is entirely within the State of New York) to natural gas 
supplies in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, by constructing and operating 
approximately 75 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline and a meter station. 
Corning states that it would not distribute, transport, or sell natural 
gas to any customers in the State of Pennsylvania as a result of the 
proposed service area determination and additional facilities.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Michael I. German, President and CEO, Corning Natural Gas Company, 330 
W. Williams Street, Corning, New York 14830, or at (607) 936-3755 
(telephone); (607) 962-2844 (facsimile); [email protected].
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date

[[Page 55505]]

stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene 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 
NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on 
the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will 
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other 
parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for 
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.
    Comment Date: October 9, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
