Take notice that on July 26, 2010, Corning Natural Gas Corporation (Corning), 330 W. William Street, Corning, New York 14830, filed in the above referenced docket an application pursuant to section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting the determination of a service area with 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:26 Aug 09, 2010 Jkt 220001 reporting requirements and other regulatory requirements ordinarily applicable to interstate natural gas pipelines under the NGA and other such 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.

Corning proposes to reconnect its natural gas distribution system in the State of New York to natural gas production in Pennsylvania, by returning two existing 12-inch-diameter pipeline stubs, each approximately 1,100 feet long to service at Douds Farm. Further, Corning proposes to expand its service area at Baxter Lake Road to interconnect existing Line 11 to one 12inch diameter pipeline, no more than 1,100 feet in length. Corning states that it will not distribute, transport, or sell natural gas to any customers in the State of Pennsylvania as a result of the proposed service area determination.

The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
