DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP94-265-000, et al.]

 

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation, et al.; Natural Gas 
Certificate Filings

March 9, 1994.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Texas Gas Transmission Corporation

[Docket No. CP94-265-000]

    Take notice that on March 4, 1994, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 1160, Owensboro, Kentucky 42302, 
filed in Docket No. CP94-265-000 an application pursuant to section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for authorization to increase the 
certificated horsepower of its Haughton Compressor Station located in 
Bossier Parish, Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Texas Gas states that the compressor unit installed at Haughton has 
a full nameplate capability of 2,250 horsepower, but has been 
programmed to a 2,000 horsepower capability to meet the station 
requirements existing at the time of its installation. Texas Gas states 
further that because its firm shippers have requested increased 
volumes, it is now necessary to uprate the compressor to its 2,250 
horsepower maximum capability.
    It is stated that because the uprating can be accomplished by 
simply rewriting the control software, there is no cost associated with 
the alteration. It is further stated that the proposed uprating would 
increase the capacity available in the winter on Texas Gas' North 
Louisiana system by approximately 5.3 Mmcf per day, but would not 
increase the summer ambient capability of the Haughton compressor. 
Thus, it is said, there would be no increase in Texas Gas' annual 
available capacity along this system.
    Comment date: March 30, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
F at the end of this notice.

2. Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.

[Docket No. CP94-269-000]

March 10, 1994.
    Take notice that on March 4, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP94-269-000, a request 
pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for authorization to construct and 
operate an additional point of delivery for interruptible 
transportation service to National Gas and Oil Corporation (NGO) in 
Perry County, Ohio, under the authorization issued in Docket No. CP83-
76-000 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.
    Columbia states that it will provide the interruptible 
transportation service under its blanket certificate in Docket No. 
CP86-240-000 under existing authorized rate schedules and within 
certificated entitlements. Columbia estimates that the quantities of 
gas to be delivered at the new delivery point will be 20,000 Dth per 
day and 7,300,000 Dth annually. It is estimated that the cost to 
establish this delivery point will be approximately $215,739. Columbia 
states that it has agreed to contribute $125,000 toward the cost of 
upgrading the interconnecting facilities. It is stated that NGO has 
agreed to reimburse Columbia for the remaining $90,739, plus any gross-
up for tax purposes.
    Columbia proposes to upgrade an existing receipt meter to a 
bidirectional facility capable of delivering and receiving up to 20,000 
Dth/d. It is stated that interconnecting facilities by Columbia consist 
of an 8-inch tap, electronic measurement, flow control, installation of 
a filter separator and less than 20 feet of pipeline within the 
existing right-of-way. Columbia states that it has obtained the 
necessary environmental clearances from the Ohio State Historical 
Preservation Office and the United States Department of the Interior 
Fish and Wildlife Service for its proposed construction.
    Comment date: April 25, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
G at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
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 a grant of the certificate and/or 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 applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
    G. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.

Secretary.
