[Docket No. CP94-702-000, et al.]

 

Texas Gas Transmission Corp, et al.; Natural Gas Certificate 
Filings

August 11, 1994.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Texas Gas Transmission

[Docket No. CP94-702-000]

    Take notice that on August 8, 1994, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42301, filed in Docket No. CP94-702-000 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 add a new 
delivery point in Grant Parish, Louisiana, under Texas Gas's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-407-000 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.
    Texas Gas currently transports gas for delivery to Farmland 
Industries, Inc. (Farmland) at a meter located on Texas Gas's Bastrop--
Eunice pipeline system in Grant Parish, Louisiana (Wintershall--
Farmland Meter). Such meter was installed and is being operated under 
the authority of Section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act (Section 
311) and Section 284.3(c) of the Commission's Regulations. Texas Gas 
states that Farmland has recently indicated a need for greater 
flexibility in the services that can be provided at this delivery point 
on Texas Gas's system. In particular, Farmland would like to be able to 
receive at the Wintershall--Farmland Meter gas transported not only 
pursuant to Section 311, but also pursuant to Texas Gas's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP88-686-000. By this filing, Texas 
Gas is requesting authorization to change the status of this delivery 
point in order to be able to transport and deliver gas on a 
jurisdictional basis.
    Texas Gas states that the quantity of gas to be delivered through 
this meter will vary; however, the design capacity of the Wintershall--
Farmland Meter is approximately 78,200 Mcf per day under normal 
operating conditions.
    Texas Gas states that this proposal will have no impact on its peak 
day and annual deliveries as the addition of this point as a 
jurisdictional delivery station will not increase or decrease Texas 
Gas's main line capacity.
    Comment date: September 26, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

2. NorAm Gas Transmission Company

[Docket No. CP94-706-000]

    Take notice that on August 8, 1994, NorAm Gas Transmission Company 
(NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. 
CP94-706-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.216) for authorization to abandon certain facilities in Louisiana 
and Oklahoma under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
384-000, et al., 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.
    NGT proposes to abandon in place: 1) Line 632 having 30,071 feet of 
2 to 6-inch pipe located in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma; 2) Line 632-12 
having 4,421 feet of 2-inch pipe located in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma; 
and 3) a segment of Line 634 having 18,648 feet of 2 to 6-inch pipe 
located in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. All lines are operated at low 
pressure to provide service to rural domestic customers of ARKLA, a 
division of NorAm Energy Corporation (formerly Arkansas Louisiana Gas 
Company) and ARKLA's Ada Townborder Station No. 2. NGT says that these 
lines are old, deteriorated, and are no longer necessary for the 
delivery of gas to ARKLA. NGT proposes to transfer, by sale, minor 
segments of these lines to ARKLA. No customers or service will be 
abandoned as a result of the abandonment of these facilities.
    Comment date: September 26, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

3. Northern Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP94-708-000]

    Take notice that on August 9, 1994, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP94-708-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a new 
delivery point and to upgrade an existing delivery point to accommodate 
increased natural gas deliveries to Madison Gas and Electric Company 
(MG&E) under Northern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
401-000 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.
    Northern proposes to construct and operate a new delivery point, 
the Readstown #1 town border station (TBS), in Vernon County, 
Wisconsin, to serve the communities of Readstown, Soldiers Grove, Gays 
Mills, Bell Center, and Mount Sterling (communities that do not 
currently have natural gas service) and to upgrade the existing Elroy 
#1 town border station in Juneau County, Wisconsin, to accommodate 
increased natural gas deliveries to serve the communities of Wilton and 
Norwalk. Northern explains that MG&E has requested the installation and 
upgrade of the delivery points due to the expansion of its distribution 
system into new areas. Northern estimates that the total cost would be 
$138,000.
    Northern estimates that the peak day and annual deliveries of gas 
at the Readstown TBS would be 1,461 and 150,000 MMBtu, respectively. 
Furthermore, Northern estimates that the peak day and annual deliveries 
at the Elroy TBS would increase from 889 to 2,250 MMBtu and from 
100,000 to 300,000 MMBtu, respectively. Northern states that the end-
users would be residential, commercial, and industrial customers. 
Northern advises that the increased service would be provided under 
currently effective transportation service agreements.
    Comment date: September 26, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

No. CP94-710-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 
and 157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a town border 
station and appurtenant facilities to provide natural gas deliveries to

through the new town border station. Northern estimates that the 
facilities would cost $130,000, and indicates that the facilities would 
be financed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in 
Northern's FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1.
    Northern states that the total volumes to be delivered to SWL&P 
after this request do not exceed the total volumes authorized prior to 
this request. Northern also states that it has sufficient system 
delivery flexibility to accomplish these deliveries without detriment 
or disadvantage to its other customers. It is also stated that 
Northern's tariff does not prohibit the addition of new delivery taps.
