[Docket No. CP02-430-000]
Saltville Gas Storage Company L.L.C.; Notice of Application for a
Limited Blanket Certificate for Gas Storage and Related Transportation
September 13, 2002.
Take notice that on August 23, 2002, Saltville Gas Storage Company
L.L.C. (Saltville), a limited liability company with its principal
place of business at 1096 Old Berry Drive, Abingdon, Virginia 24210,
filed in Docket No. CP02-430-000 an application pursuant to section 7c
of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Section 284.224 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations thereunder, for a limited
jurisdiction blanket certificate authorizing it to engage in gas
storage and related transportation activities.
Saltville states it is a Hinshaw company that is exempt from the
Commission's general jurisdiction under section 1(c) of the Natural Gas
Act. Saltville explains that it plans to develop natural gas storage
caverns in underground salt formations in Smyth and Washington
Counties, Virginia, and build seven miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline,
pursuant to orders issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia State
Corporation Commission (VSCC). The project will consist of four storage
caverns with a total working gas capacity of 6.216 Bcf. Saltville
requests a limited jurisdictional blanket certificate pursuant to
Section 284.224 of the Commission's regulations authorizing it to
provide certain non-exempt interstate services. Saltville proposes to
charge VSCC approved rates for FERC jurisdictional service.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before October 4, 2002, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a
petition to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (Rules 210, 211 or
214) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All
protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to the proceeding or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein must file a petition to intervene in accordance with
the Commission Rules. Copies of this filing are on file with the
Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may
also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS''

[[Page 59281]]
the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission by sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission on this application
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein,
if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the
certificate is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission
on its own motion believes that an oral hearing is required, further
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at
hearing.
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
