1. CNG Transmission Corp.

[Docket No. CP94-236-000]

    Take notice that on February 18, 1994, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-236-000 a request, as supplemented on February 28, 
1994, pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for authorization to construct and 
operate additional measuring and regulating facilities at an existing 
delivery point to Washington Gas Light Company (WGL) under CNG's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-537-000 pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, CNG proposes to construct and operate additional 
measuring and regulating facilities at its existing Dickerson M & R 
Station in Montgomery County, Maryland. CNG states that it would use 
the facilities to deliver natural gas to WGL for service to the 
Montgomery County Resource Recovery Facility. CNG further states that 
service to WGL would be provided under an existing firm transportation 
contract dated September 30, 1993, and CNG's Rate Schedule FTNN. The 
maximum daily volume under the contract is 60,224 Dt per day, it is 
stated. CNG estimates the average daily delivery to the Montgomery 
County facility would be 110 Mcf per day.
    CNG estimates the cost of the facilities to be $550,000, which 
would be paid for by WGL. CNG asserts that CNG and WGL would equally 
share costs in excess of $550,000.
    CNG states that it has sufficient system delivery capacity to 
deliver the existing contract quantities to WGL without disadvantaging 
its existing customers and that such deliveries will have a de minimis 
impact on its systemwide peak and annual deliveries.
    Comment date: April 15, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
G at the end of this notice.

2. Algonquin Gas Transmission Co.

[Docket No. CP94-238-000]

Company (Algonquin), 1284 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, MA 02135, filed 
in Docket No. CP94-238-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205(b) and 
157.212 of the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization 
to add a delivery point for New England Power Company (NEP), an 
existing customer, for service under Algonquin's existing Rate Schedule 
X-38 under the certificate issued in Docket No. CP87-317-000, pursuant 
to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Algonquin states that the proposed delivery point would have a 
maximum daily delivery obligation of zero for NEP under Rate Schedule 
X-38, and would be located at an existing meter station in Milford, 
Massachusetts constructed for deliveries to Milford Power Limited 
Partnership. Algonquin avers that the addition of the proposed delivery 
point will not increase the Maximum Daily Transportation Quantity under 
Rate Schedule X-38 and that no additional facilities are required. 
Algonquin indicates that NEP requested that Algonquin establish the 
additional delivery point.

3. Koch Gateway Pipeline Co.

[Docket No. CP94-244-000]

    Take notice that on February 22, 1994, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-244-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.216 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon delivery facilities 
under Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000 
pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\Gateway was formerly United Gas Pipe Line Company. Gateway 
indicates that the name change was effective August 24, 1993.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Gateway proposes to abandon approximately 5,000 feet of 12-inch 
lateral pipeline and the associated meter station by sale of the 
pipeline to Liquid Carbonics, Inc. (Liquid Carbonics), and the transfer 
of the metering facilities to Gateway's inventory. Gateway states that 
the facilities have been used to provide transportation service to 
Arcadian Corporation's (Arcadian) ammonia plant located in Calcasieu 
Parish, Louisiana. Gateway explains that, due to a catastrophic failure 
caused by an explosion at the plant in July 1992 and since Arcadian 
does not plan to rebuild the facility, Gateway has arranged to sell the 
12-inch pipeline to Liquid Carbonics. Gateway advises that Arcadian is 
the only Gateway customer served through the line. Gateway further 
explains that the pipeline would be used by Liquid Carbonics for the 
transmission of hydrogen gas and not for the transportation of natural 
gas in interstate commerce. Gateway states that (a) the facilities 
originally cost $868,563, (b) Liquid Carbonics would pay $275,000 for 
the lateral, (c) the salvage value of the metering facilities is 
$203,739 and (d) the removal cost is estimated to be $41,000.

G at the end of this notice.
