§ 152.1 Exemption applications
blanket certificates.

and

(a) Application for exemption from
the provisions of the Natural Gas Act
and the rules and regulations of the
Commission issued pursuant thereto
may be made by any person as defined
in the Natural Gas Act engaged in, or
authorized to engage in the transportation in interstate commerce or the
sale in interstate commerce for resale,
of natural gas received by such applicant from another person within or at
the boundary of a State, if all of the
natural gas so received is ultimately
consumed in such State: Provided, That
the natural-gas rates (including rates
for sales for resale) and service of the
applicant and its natural-gas facilities
are subject to regulation by a State
Commission, as defined in the Natural
Gas Act, and that such State Commission is exercising that jurisdiction.
(b)(1)(i) For purposes of the Commission’s regulations implementing the
Natural Gas Act, ‘‘vehicular natural
gas’’ or ‘‘VNG’’ means natural gas that
will be used, in either a gaseous or liquefied state, as fuel in any self-propelled vehicle.
(ii) For purposes of the Commission’s
regulations implementing the Natural
Gas Act, vehicular natural gas, or
VNG, is deemed to be ultimately consumed in the state in which the gas is
physically delivered into the vehicle’s
fuel tank regardless of whether the

tank is attached to the vehicle at the
time it is filled.
(2)(i) Blanket certificates of public
convenience and necessity are issued
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act to all persons that engage in
sales for resale of VNG that are subject
to the Commission’s authority under
section 1(b) of the NGA, such authorization to be effective upon that person’s engagement in the jurisdictional
sale. A blanket certificate issued under
this paragraph (b)(2)(i) is a certificate
of limited jurisdiction which will not
subject the certificate holder to any
other regulation under the Natural Gas
Act jurisdiction of the Commission by
virtue of transactions under the certificate. Such certificate will not impair
the continued validity of any Natural
Gas Act exemption from Commission
jurisdiction.
(ii) A blanket certificate issued under
paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section authorizes the holder to make sales of
VNG for resale in interstate commerce
at market rates.
(iii) Abandonment of the sales service authorized in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of
this section is authorized pursuant to
section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act
upon the expiration of the contractual
term or upon termination of each individual sales arrangement.
