Filings

September 30, 1994,

    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Texas Gas Transmission Corp. Union Oil Company of California

[Docket No. CP94-811-000]

    Take notice that on September 28, 1994, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 1160, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42302 and Union Oil Company of California (Unocal), 14141 Southwest 
Freeway, Sugar Land, Texas 77478 filed, in Docket No. CP94-811-000, a 
joint application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and 
part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for an order permitting and 
approving the abandonment of an exchange service, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Texas Gas and Unocal propose to abandon an interruptible exchange 
service, pursuant to an exchange agreement dated November 5, 1985 
(Agreement), of up to 15,000 Mcf per month of natural gas. Texas Gas 
states that under the Agreement it delivered up to 15,000 Mcf per month 
to a location at or near Unocal's Bayou Pigeon Meter Station located in 
Iberia Parish, Louisiana and received equivalent quantities of gas from 
Unocal at the Bayou Pigeon delivery point, at a delivery point in the 
Lake Pagie Field, or at other mutually agreeable locations. Texas Gas 
also states that the term of its Agreement coincided with the term of a 
gas purchase contract, with Unocal, involving gas reserves in the Bayou 
Pigeon Field. Texas Gas asserts the gas purchase contract expired on 
November 1, 1993, and thus the Agreement also terminated on this same 
date.
    Texas Gas and Unocal state there is no abandonment of any 
facilities pursuant to the instant application.
    Comment date: October 21, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.

2. CNG Transmission Corp.

[Docket No. CP94-795-000]

    Take notice that on September 22, 1994, CNG Transmission 
Corporation (CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 
26301, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Gateway), filed in Docket No. 
CP94-795-000 an application pursuant to section 157.211(b) of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for 
authorization to construct new delivery facilities that would serve as 
an additional delivery point to National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation 
(NFG Supply), under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
537-000, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    CNG states that NFG Supply currently transports local production 
gas to its affiliate, National Fuel Gas Distribution (NFG 
Distribution), for distribution of approximately 325 consumers in the 
Village of Wilcox, in Jones Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania. CNG 
further states that NFG Supply serves these consumers by utilizing 
CNG's B-5 and B-M7 lines. Because of the age and condition of these 
lines, and a declining supply, NFG Supply desires to retire these 
lines. CNG proposes to construct a four-inch tap, measuring and 
regulation station and add approximately 150 feet of 4-inch connecting 
line from CNG's pipeline system near the Village of Wilcox. This would 
replace the gas supply delivering it through the new facilities to NFG 
Supply so that NFG Distribution could continue serving its consumers in 
Wilcox and vicinity. CNG states that the estimated cost of the 
construction is $124,596.00, and that NFG Supply has agreed to 
reimburse CNG.
    Comment date: November 14, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

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.
