Certificate Filings

July 21, 1994.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

[Docket No. CP94-654-000]

    Take notice that on July 12, 1994, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 
77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP94-654-000, an application, pursuant 
to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Section 157.7 of the 
Commission's Regulations for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity to construct, own, and operate certain incremental pipeline 
facilities necessary to render firm transportation service to Eastern 
Shore Gas Company (Eastern Shore), PECO Energy company (PECO), South 
Jersey Natural Gas Company (South Jersey), and UGI Utilities, Inc. 
(UGI). Firm transportation service will be provided under Texas 
Eastern's Part 284, open-access blanket transportation certificate, and 
the terms and conditions of Texas Eastern's Rate Schedule FT-1. Texas 
Eastern also requests authorization to charge a NGA Section 7 initial 
rate that is a separately stated incremental rate.
    Texas Eastern proposes to construct the facilities in two phases. 
Phase I facilities have a proposed in-service date of November 1, 1995. 
Phase II facilities have a proposed in-service date of November 1, 
1996. The proposed Phase I facilities consist of: 11.27 miles of 36-
inch pipeline loop and replacement in Greene, Fayette, Bedford, and 
Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania; and a new meter and regulating station in 
Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In Phase II, Texas Eastern proposes to 
replace a 2000 HP compressor at Eagle Compressor Station, in Bucks 
County, Pennsylvania, and hydrostatically retest 23.57 miles of 20-inch 
pipeline from the discharge of the Eagle Compressor Station to uprate 
its maximum allowable operating pressure to 811 psig from 718 psig. The 
estimated total cost of the proposed facilities is $35,775,000: 
$27,609,000 for Phase I, and $8,166,000 for Phase II.
    The proposed incremental capacity is allocated as follows: 

                         Total Volumes (Dth/d)

Eastern Shore--                                                         
 Phase I..........  2,000                                               
PECO--Phase I.....  27,210                                              
South Jersey--                                                          
 Phase II.........  9,660                                               
                   ----------------------------------------------       
    Total.........  42,870                                              

    Texas Eastern proposes to render firm transportation service for 
Riverside Storage Field storage customers: Eastern Shore and PECO, in 
Phase I, and South Jersey, in Phase II. Riverside Storage Field will be 
connected to Texas Eastern's system at an interconnection near 
Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. Riverside Gas Storage Company filed an 
application with the Commission on March 17, 1994, in Docket No. CP94-
292-000, requesting authorization to construct, develop, and operate 
the storage facility.
    In addition to providing service from Riverside Storage Field, 
Texas Eastern proposes to render firm transportation service for UGI 
from a point on Texas Eastern's system near Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
    Based upon the phased cost of the proposed facilities, Texas 
Eastern proposes an initial incremental monthly reservation charge of 
$13.683 per Dth/d for the Phase I firm transportation services (33,210 
Dth/d) beginning November 1, 1995. When Phase II service begins, on 
November 1, 1996, the reservation charge for all firm transportation 
services (42,870 Dth/d) will be $14.413 per Dth/d, as more fully 
described in Texas Eastern's application as filed with the Commission.
    Comment date: August 11, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.

Docket No. CP94-660-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate a 2-

    Specifically, Northwest proposes to construct and operate the tap 
facilities as tie-ins between the Nampa LNG Meter Station and 
Northwest's mainline loop in Ada County and between the Oswald Meter 
Station and Northwest's mainline loop in Canyon County. The proposed 
crossover tie-ins, as expressed by Northwest, will enhance operational 
flexibility and reliability of the system and will no change the design 
capacity and delivery pressure at the meter stations.
    The cost of the proposed crossover at the Oswald Meter Station is
