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

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); mgerman@corninggas.com.
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.
