[Docket No. CP94-682-000]

 

Southern Natural Gas Company; Application

August 1, 1994.
    Take notice that on July 22, 1994, pursuant to Section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) Regulations (18 CFR 157.7), Southern Natural 
Gas Company (Applicant), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202, 
filed an application for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity authorizing the construction, installation and operation of 
pipeline, measurement and related appurtenant facilities, as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Applicant states it has received long-term 
commitments for firm transportation service under its FT Rate Schedule 
from the Citizens Gas Utility District, Cookeville Gas Department, 
Etowah Utilities, Hawkins County Gas Utility, Jefferson-Cocke County 
Utility District, Knoxville Utilities Board, Loudon Utilities, Middle 
Tennessee Natural Gas Utility District, Oak Ridge Utility District, 
Powell-Clinch Utility District and United Cities Gas Company, 
hereinafter referred to as ``Customers'', for a total subscription of 
11,350 Mcf per day of firm transportation service to the Customers. 
Applicant requests authorization to construct, install and operate 
approximately 21 miles of 12-inch pipeline and the necessary 
measurement facilities to connect its system at or near mile post 
101.44 on its Chattanooga Branch Line in Catoosa County, Georgia, with 
the facilities of Tenneco East, L.P., in Bradley County, Tennessee.
    The estimated cost of the proposed facilities is $6,951,000. 
Although a final plan of financing has not been determined, Applicant 
states that the costs of construction will be financed initially by 
short-term financing and/or available cash from operations, and, 
ultimately, by permanent financing. In addition, Applicant requests the 
Commission waive all applicable provisions of its tariff and Sec. 284.7 
of the Commission's Regulations so that the Customers will not have to 
pay any GSR surcharges or transition costs on Applicant's system. 
Applicant requests Commission approval of the application by June 1, 
1995, so that facilities will be available for service to the Customers 
on or before November 1, 1995.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 21, 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 385.211) 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 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
