[Docket No. CP95-216-000]
Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company, Trunkline Gas Co.;
Application
February 24, 1995.
Take notice that on February 21, 1995, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas, 77251-1642, and
Trunkline Gas Company (Trunkline), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-
1642 (jointly referred to as Applicants), filed in Docket No. CP95-216-
000 an abbreviated joint application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Secs. 157.7 and 157.18 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations thereunder, for
permission and approval [[Page 11666]] to abandon a natural gas
transportation service between Applicants and ANR Pipeline Company
(ANR) for ultimate use as storage gas for United Cities Gas Company
(Cities), all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Applicants state that they propose to abandon a transportation
service initiated to implement a storage agreement for annual storage
of up to 100,000 Mcf of natural gas by ANR for Cities. Applicants also
state that the agreement is dated July 13, 1979, as amended, April 17,
1980. Applicants indicate that Panhandle provides its service under its
Rate Schedule T-39, and Trunkline provides its service under its Rate
Schedule T-61. Applicants further state that the service was authorized
in Docket No. CP79-438. It is indicated that the agreement provides for
delivery of gas at a rate of up to 500 Mcf per day to ANR during the
1980 and ensuing summer periods. Applicants aver that during the summer
period Trunkline effects delivery to Panhandle by reducing existing
deliveries of up to 500 Mcf per day of natural gas to Cities at an
existing point of interconnection in Massac County, Illinois and the
thermally equivalent volumes, not taken by Cities, are then delivered
by Panhandle to ANR at an existing point of interconnection between
Panhandle and ANR in Defiance County, Ohio, for storage. Applicants
further indicate that during the winter period, Panhandle would receive
daily volumes from ANR and Trunkline would make daily redeliveries of
thermally equivalent volumes to Cities in Massac County, Illinois.
Applicants indicate that the agreement provides for a primary term
of fifteen years with extensions provided for on a year-to-year basis
until terminated by either party upon at least twelve months written
notice. Applicants state that they and Cities have agreed to terminate
the transportation service, effective April 1, 1995. Applicants further
state that the interconnection with Cities will continue to be
available for open access transportation service.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before March 17, 1995, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a
petition 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 petition 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 on this application
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein,
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission
on its motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provide for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Applicants to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
