DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP94-364-000, et al.]


Equitrans, Inc., et al.; Natural Gas Certificate Filings

April 19, 1994.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Equitrans, Inc.

[Docket No. CP94-364-000]

    Take notice that on April 18, 1994, Equitrans, Inc., 3500 Park 
Lane, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15275, filed in Docket No. CP94-364-000 
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 one new delivery tap under Equitrans' blanket 
certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP83-508-000 and CP86-676-000 
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, Equitrans proposes to construct and operate a 
delivery tap on its transmission line H-108 in the City of Ellsworth, 
Pennsylvania. Equitrans states that it would use this tap to deliver 
gas to Equitable Gas Company (Equitable) for retail gas service to a 
domestic customer. Equitrans estimates the peak day deliveries to be 
one Mcf.
    Equitrans states that the proposed service is within Equitable's 
entitlements and that the proposed service will not impact Equitrans' 
peak day and annual deliveries. Equitrans further states that it has 
sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment to 
its other customers and that its tariff does not prohibit this type of 
service.
    Comment date: June 3, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
at the end of this notice.

2. Questar Pipeline Co.

[Docket No. CP94-353-000]

    Take notice that on April 14, 1994, Questar Pipeline Company 
(Questar), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-353-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act for permission and 
approval to abandon certain interstate facilities by reclassification 
to a nonjurisdictional gathering designation, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Questar states that it proposes to reclassify its jurisdictional 
Lateral (JL) No. 21 and Lateral 495 to a gathering designation. Questar 
explains that these existing non-main-line, single-well connection 
facilities, comprising 7,916 feet of 3-inch and 4-inch pipeline, are 
used to gather volumes produced from the Antelope production area of 
Sweetwater County, Wyoming, for delivery into the Table Rock facilities 
of Colorado Interstate Gas Company. Questar further states that its JL 
No. 21 and Lateral 495 were installed under certifications issued to 
Questar's predecessor, Mountain Fuel Supply Company, in Docket No. 
CP74-133, as amended, on May 3, 1976 (55 FPC 2074) and on March 21, 
1978 (2 FERC 61,255). Questar states that as of December 31, 1993, the 
total gross plant investment associated with the facilities is 
approximately $38,200. Questar now believes that the facilities now 
qualify as ``gathering'' in light of the Commission's ``modified 
primary function test.'' Questar states that no customer's service will 
be terminated as the result of granting the requested authorization.
    Comment date: May 10, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph F 
at the end of this notice.

3. Koch Gateway Pipeline Co.

[Docket No. CP94-357-000]

    Take notice that on April 14, 1994, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(``Gateway''), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-357-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205, 157.211) for authorization to revise an existing metering 
facility through which Gateway proposes to serve Cornerstone Natural 
Gas Company (``Cornerstone'') under a 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.
    Gateway proposes to revise an existing meter station to deliver 
natural gas to Cornerstone pursuant to a transportation agreement dated 
November 11, 1988 under Gateway's ITS Rate Schedule. Specifically, 
Gateway proposes to reverse the meter tube, check valve and tap valve 
at an existing receipt side meter station located in Claiborne Parish, 
Louisiana. The service provided through these facilities will remain 
within certificated entitlements.
    Comment date: June 3, 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
