DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP94-538-000]

 

Texas Gas Transmission Corp.; Application

May 13, 1994
    Take notice that on May 9, 1994, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation 
(Texas Gas), P.O. Box 1160, Owensboro, Kentucky 42302, filed in Docket 
No. CP94-538-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon an exchange service 
between Texas Gas and Columbia Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia 
Gulf), all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Texas Gas states that on January 16, 1979, Texas Gas and Columbia 
Gulf received an order in Docket No. CP78-525-000 (Order) issuing to 
them a certificate of public convenience and necessity (6 FERC 61,038 
(1979)) authorizing the transportation of natural gas by Columbia Gulf 
and the exchange of gas by Texas Gas and Columbia Gulf under a 
transportation and exchange agreement dated July 6, 1978 (Agreement). 
Under the Agreement, Columbia Gulf received for Texas Gas's account, on 
a firm basis, up to 3,000 Mcf per day of gas purchased by Texas Gas at 
the Exxon Garden City Gas Plant (Plant) in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, 
through an existing interconnection between Columbia Gulf and the Plant 
and transported such gas to Columbia Gulf's Rayne Compressor Station in 
Acadia Parish, Louisiana, it is stated. Columbia Gulf says that it then 
retained such volumes, less a pro rata share of fuel and delivered by 
exchange equivalent quantities of natural gas, less such pro rata 
share, to Texas Gas at an existing interconnection between Texas Gas 
and Columbia Gulf in Egan Parish, Louisiana.
    Texas Gas further states that such Agreement was terminated by the 
parties effective January 16, 1991. By this application, Texas Gas is 
requesting authority to terminate the exchange service performed by the 
parties under the Agreement. Texas Gas states Columbia gulf has already 
filed to abandon such transportation and exchange service by an 
application filed in Docket No. CP93-686-000, on August 27, 1993.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 3, 1994, 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 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 Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell
Secretary.
