transportation service agreement. According to Northern NSP has
requested the new delivery point to serve residential and commercial
end-users north of Brainerd, Minnesota. Northern indicates that the
estimated total volume proposed to be delivered to NSP is expected to

2. Ozark Gas Transmission System
[Docket No. CP94-280-000]
Take notice that on March 11, 1994, Ozark Gas Transmission System
(Ozark), 1700 Pacific Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201, filed in Docket No.

subject to this abandonment filing is called the Hurley compressor and
is located in Section 28, Township 10 North, Range 24 West, Johnson
County, Arkansas. Ozark further states that this unit is no longer
needed to provide service on the Hurley lateral. Ozark asserts that gas
supply produced from the wells located behind this compressor may be

interrupted upon abandonment of the unit.

3. East Tennessee Natural Gas Co.
[Docket No. CP94-284-000]
Take notice that on March 14, 1994, East Tennessee Natural Gas
Company (East Tennessee), Building E, Suite 424, Cross Park II, 9111
Cross Park Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37923, filed in Docket No. CP94-
284-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.212) for authorization to modify certain existing metering
facilities under East Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in Docket
No. CP82-412-000 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.
East Tennessee proposes to replace existing meter tubes at two
locations in order to increase the measurement accuracy of the metering
facilities. East Tennessee explains that it transports natural gas for
Jamestown Natural Gas (Jamestown) and Middle Tennessee Utility District
(MTUD) and delivers the gas at flow rates that exceed the flow rates
that can be accurately measured by the existing metering facilities.
East Tennessee states that to improve the measurement accuracy of the
facilities, East Tennessee would replace (a) One of the existing 2-inch
meter tubes with a 4-inch meter tube at the Jamestown Sales Station
(Meter No. 75-9084) in Fentress County, Tennessee, and (b) two 4-inch
meter tubes with two 6-inch meter tubes at Meter No. 75-9031, Monterey
Sales Station in Putnam County, Tennessee, for MTUD. East Tennessee
estimates that the cost of renovating each of the facilities is $10,000
for a total of $20,000 which would be absorbed by East Tennessee.
Comment date: May 2, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G
at the end of this notice.

Oil and Gas Inc. (Amax) certain compression and pipeline facilities,
with appurtenances, located in Crockett County, Texas, all as more

pipeline and appurtenant facilities, with pipe diameters ranging
between 2-inches and 12-inches, and four lateral compressor stations.

facilities to allow it to consolidate its processing plants in the
Crockett County area. Northern states further that Amax intends to

time of the closing.
