Filings

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

1. Southern Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-709-000]

    Take notice that on August 25, 1995, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-709-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.212, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216) for authorization to 
relocate certain delivery point facilities which serve Dalton Utilities 
(Dalton). Southern makes such request, under its blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000, all as more fully set forth in the 
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Southern proposes to abandon two four-inch meter 
runs, a heater and some regulating equipment at its existing Dalton No. 
2 Delivery Point which is currently located on Southern's 12-inch 
Chattanooga Branch Lines in Whitfield County, Georgia. Southern also 
proposes to construct and operate a dual 4-inch orifice meter, heater, 
regulators, and other appurtenant facilities in order to provide 
transportation service to Dalton No. 2, at the relocation cite. It is 
stated that Southern proposes to relocate the facilities to a site on 
its 12-inch Chattanooga Branch Lines in Whitfield County, Georgia. The 
estimated cost of the relocation of the delivery facilities is 
approximately $101,500. It is indicated that Dalton will reimburse 
Southern for the total actual cost of relocating the facilities. Dalton 
has requested the relocation to serve more efficiently the gas 
requirements on its distribution system which are growing in the area 
of the proposed relocation point.
    Southern states that it will continue to transport gas to the 
relocated Dalton No. 2 delivery point, pursuant to its Rate Schedules 
FT and IT. Dalton does not propose to add or change any transportation 
demand to its firm service as a result of the relocation of the 
delivery point. Southern further states that the installation of the 
proposed facilities will have no adverse impact on its peak day or firm 
requirements.
    Comment date: October 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

2. Colorado Interstate Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-711-000]

    Take notice that on August 25, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed 
in Docket No. CP95-711-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.216 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216 and 157.212) for authorization to 
abandon the existing Fort Lupton taps and to construct new delivery 
facilities at the same location for Public Service Company of Colorado 
(PSCo), a local distribution company, under CIG's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP83-21-000 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.
    CIG proposes to abandon two taps and construct a new meter station 
and appurtenant facilities at Section 34, Township 2 North, Range 66 
West, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed new facilities are to be bi-
directional, will increase deliverability and will cost $506,600. The 
deliveries at the Fort Lupton delivery point will provide service to 
PSCo's Fort St. Vrain power plant and other loads in the area. 
Currently, there is 15,500 Dth/d of entitlement under existing 
agreements, but after the proposed installation, the initial deliveries 
will be up to 100,000 Dth/d. The total annual and daily contract 
entitlement for the contracts serving the Fort Lupton delivery 
facilities are within the certificated entitlements. CIG's existing 
tariff does not prohibit this change and CIG states that there is 
sufficient capacity to accomplish the increased deliveries

without detriment or disadvantage to other customers.
    Comment date: October 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

3. Colorado Interstate Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-712-000]

    Take notice that on August 25, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed 
in Docket No. CP95-712-000 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 operate a new delivery 
point, the South Bennett delivery facilities, for service under CIG's 
existing Rate Schedule NNT-2 for Eastern Colorado Utility Company 
(Eastern Colorado), a local distribution company, in Arapahoe County, 
Colorado under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-21-
000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully 
set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    CIG states that it will operate a tap, two-inch tee, valve, 
approximately 50 feet of two-inch pipe and appurtenant facilities. CIG 
states that it plans to construct these facilities pursuant to Section 
311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act. CIG estimates that cost of the 
proposed facilities is approximately $10,000. CIG asserts that it will 
provide transportation service to Eastern Colorado pursuant to its open 
access blanket certificate; and therefore, it has authorization for the 
proposed service. Additionally, CIG notes that the proposed service is 
not prohibited by an existing CIG tariff. CIG states that it has 
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries to the proposed facilities 
without detriment or disadvantage to CIG's other customers.
    CIG states that it does not currently make deliveries to Eastern 
Colorado at the proposed South Bennett delivery facility. CIG asserts 
that the proposed facilities will be capable of delivering 
approximately 850 Dth/d. Additionally, CIG notes that the end use of 
the gas delivered by CIG to Eastern Colorado will be for new 
residential development. CIG claims that the impact of the proposed 
changes will be minimal because of the proposed delivery volume size 
and the use of an existing agreement.
    Comment date: October 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.
