Pine Needle LNG Company, LLC; Notice of Tariff Filing

October 9, 2002.
    Take notice that on October 4, 2002, Pine Needle LNG Company, LLC 
(Pine Needle), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff 
Original Volume No. 1, First Revised Sheet No. 80, with an effective 
date of December 1, 2002.
    Pine Needle states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
the Commission's Regulation of Short-Term Natural Gas Transportation 
Services and Regulation of Interstate Natural Gas Transportation 
Services in Docket Nos. RM98-10 and RM98-12, et. al. (Order No. 637). 
In Order No. 637, the Commission, among other things, revised its 
regulations regarding the availability of the Right-of-First-Refusal 
(ROFR).
    Specifically, 18 CFR 284.221(d)(2)(ii) provides that the ROFR will 
be applicable to contracts at the applicable maximum rate with either 
(1) a term of service of at least 12 consecutive months or (2) for a 
service which is not available for 12 consecutive months, a contract 
term of more than one year. Additionally, a customer receiving firm 
service at less than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to a service 
agreement executed prior to March 26, 2000 that meets the foregoing 
term criteria, will also be eligible for a right of first refusal; 
provided however, the right of first refusal will not apply to a re-
executed service agreement unless it is at the applicable maximum rate.
    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 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. 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 <A HREF="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</A> using the ``FERRIS'' link.

number field to access the document. For Assistance, call (202) 502-
8222 or for TTY, (202) 502-8659. Comments, protests and interventions
