Docket No. CP96-339-001Total Peaking Services, L.L.C.; Notice of Initial Tariff Filing

April 15. 1998.

Take notice that on February 25, 1998, Total Peaking Services, L.L.C. (TPS) filedits FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1 to be effective April 1, 1998. TPS states that the purpose of the

[Page 19722]filing is to comply with the Commission's November 25, 1997, order which was issued in Docket No. CP96-339-000 and required TPS to file a tariff specifying the terms and conditions under which it will offer open access storage service at an existing liquid natural gas (LNG) peak-shaving facility at Milford, Connecticut. TPS's tariff provides for four types of open access storage service: (1) A firm liquefaction, storage, and vaporization service under Rate Schedule LSV; (2) a firm LNG storage service under Rate Schedule LNG; (3) an interruptible liquefaction, storage and vaporization service under Rate Schedule LSV- 1; and (4) an interruptible LNG storage service under Rate Schedule LNG-1. TPS's tariff also permits it to charge market-based rates.

The Commission's letter of March 31, 1998, stated that TPS's February 25, 1998, filing, as well as its initial application, does not contain sufficient information to approve either cost-based rates that comply with Part 284 or market-based rates, and that accordingly, the February 25, 1998, filing was not accepted for filing to be effective April 1, 1998, as requested. The Commission in that letter required TPS to provide an updated market study to support its request for market- based rates and required that TPS clarify why it proposed to establish rate schedules for liquefaction, storage and vaporization service and separate rate schedules for LNG storage service. The Commission in that letter indicated that the tariff sheets would be retained and that they would be construed as pro forma sheets.

Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214). All such motions or protests should be filedon or before April 27, 1998. 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 proceeding. 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. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
