Sec. 2.57  Temporary certificates--pipeline companies.

    The Federal Power Commission will exercise the emergency powers set 
forth in the second proviso of section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to 
authorize in appropriate cases, by issuance of temporary certificates, 
comparatively minor enlargements or extensions of an existing pipeline 
system. It will not be the policy of the Commission, however, to proceed 
summarily, i.e., without notice or hearing, in cases where the proposed 
construction is of major proportions. Pipeline companies are accordingly 
urged to conduct their planning

and to submit their applications for authority sufficiently early so 
that compliance with the requirements relating to issuance of permanent 
certificates of public convenience and necessity (when those 
requirements are deemed applicable by the Commission) will not cause 
undue delay in the commencement of necessary construction.
