[Docket No. CP94-149-000]

 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp.; Application

December 29, 1993.
    Take notice that on December 20, 1993, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (TGPL), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-149-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a 652 horsepower 
compressor unit and appurtenant facilities in Nueces County, Texas, all 
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    TGPL proposes to abandon by sale the compressor, which is located 
at the interconnection between TGPL's Petronilla Lateral and the 
pipeline system of Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (Texas 
Eastern) in Nueces County. It is stated that the compressor was 
installed under Commission authorization in Docket No. CP80-533-000 by 
order issued March 23, 1981. It is asserted that the compressor was 
installed to alleviate capacity constraints on TGPL's Petronilla 
Lateral so that TGPL could take delivery of up to 30,000 Mcf of gas per 
day which was imported from Mexico at an existing delivery point with 
Texas Eastern. It is explained that TGPL was purchasing gas from Border 
Gas, Inc. for system supply purposes, but that TGPL has not purchased 
gas under the gas purchase contract since December 1984 and does not 
plan to resume such purchases. It is stated that the proposed 
abandonment would have no impact on the daily design capacity or 
operating conditions on TGPL's system. It is further stated that no 
customers would lose service as a result of the proposed abandonment.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 7, 1994, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, 
a motion to intervene or a protest 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 Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any 
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave 
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for TGPL to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
