Young Gas Storage Company, Ltd.; Notice of Tariff Filing

September 9, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 2, 1998, Young Gas Storage Company, 
Ltd. (Young), tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed in 
attached Appendix A to the filing, to be effective October 5, 1998.
    Young states the Commission authorized it to develop, construct and 
operate an underground storage facility to provide open access storage 
service in an order that was issued June 22, 1994 in Docket No. CP93-
541-000 and 001. As the field approaches full development, Young states 
it is proposing changes to its Original Volume No. 1 Tariff to more 
accurately match the field's actual capabilities. Young states it is 
proposing to add a Reservoir Integrity Inventory Limit that defines the 
upper safe limit, such that the field may be operated to its design 
maximum inventory while maintaining control over the expansion of the 
gas bubble.
    Young also states it is proposing to adjust the original design 
parameters for the Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity and the Available 
Daily Withdrawal Quantity, such that they will more accurately match 
the field capabilities.
    Young states it is also proposing to (i) revise the definition of 
Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity to allow Young to shut-in the field 
at or about the end of the injection cycle in order to perform 
reservoir management, measurement, and assessment functions; (ii) 
remove rates that were effective during years 1 through 3 of 
development; (iii) allowing customers more flexibility to maintain a 
higher level of gas in storage at the end of the withdrawal season; 
(iv) and change the assumed Btu per cubic foot in the definition of 
Average Thermal content of gas in storage.
    Young states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all 
affected customers and state regulatory commissions.
    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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
