Sun Company Inc............................................       15,000
                                                            ------------
                                                                  30,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) Charge, as an NGA Section 7 initial rate, a separately stated 
incremental reservation rate for transportation service under 
applicant's Part 284 Rate Schedule FT-1.
    This application is filed as part of Applicant's Flex-X program. 
The transportation service is for a term of twenty years and is 
proposed to begin on November 1, 1996. The estimated cost of the 
facilities is $7,500,000.
    Applicant proposes to transport natural gas on a firm basis for 
Trigen-Philadelphia Energy Corporation (Trigen) and Sun Company Inc. 
(Sun) from a point on Applicant's mainline facilities near Eagle in 
Chester County, Pennsylvania. Volumes will be delivered to Trigen's 
proposed delivery point near Applicant's 14-inch Line No. 1-A at M.P. 
11.8 in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania and to Sun's proposed 
delivery point on Applicant's Philadelphia Lateral near Girard Point, 
Pennsylvania.
    Applicant has filed in Docket No. CP95-2-000, an application under 
the Commission's Part 157 blanket construction regulations to construct 
the proposed delivery point for Trigen. Until the firm service proposed 
here is available, Applicant will provide interruptible service to 
Trigen. Applicant will also file to construct Sun's delivery point 
under Part 157 blanket construction regulations. Applicant will provide 
interruptible service to Sun until the firm service is available.
    Part 284 service will be rendered to the shippers under Applicant's 
existing FT-1 Rate Schedule. Using the incremental capacity as 
proposed, Applicant will charge the shippers an NGA Section 7 initial 
rate, an incremental Reservation Charge, separately stated under 
Applicant's Part 284 Rate Schedule FT-1. The reservation charge is 
designed to reimburse Applicant for the incremental cost of service of 
the proposed facilities. Based upon the annual cost of service 
associated with the proposed facility additions, Applicant proposes an 
initial monthly Reservation Charge of $4.087 Dth/d for the firm 
transportation services scheduled to commence on November 1, 1996. The 
shippers will also be charged the ACA and GRI surcharges and other 
applicable charges under Rate Schedule FT-1. The reservation Charge 
proposed herein will include a Non-Spot Fuel component.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with regard 
to this application should on or before December 23, 1994, file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 2026, 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 the 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
