Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 29, 1996.
    Take notice that on January 24, 1996, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama, 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-155-000 a request pursuant to Section 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 approval to abandon certain 
regulating facilities in connection with a change in the operation of a 
delivery point for an existing customer, Alabama Gas Corporation 
(Alagasco), under Southern's blanket certificate authority issued in 
Docket No. CP82-406-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA), all as more fully set 

[[Page 3932]]
forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Southern indicates that Alagasco has requested it to remove the 
existing regulators and install incidental piping and fittings at its 
Fairfield Delivery Point, located at or near Mile Post 0.128 on 
Southern's six-inch Fairfield Line in Section 14, Township 18 South, 
Range 4 West, Jefferson County, Alabama. It is further indicated that 
the point will be redesigned to deliver gas to Alagasco at mainline 
pressure not less than 175 psiq. Southern states that such operational 
changes to the Fairfield Delivery Point will have no impact on 
Southern's peak day and annual deliveries. Southern further states that 
the estimated cost of the modifications is $10,900 which Alagasco has 
agreed to reimburse Southern.
    Southern states that the abandonment of facilities and change in 
operation of the delivery point proposed in this request for 
authorization will not result in any termination of service or any 
change to the total Firm Transportation Demand delivered to Alagasco. 
Southern further states that the proposed abandonment of facilities and 
change in delivery pressure are not prohibited by any existing tariff 
of Southern and that Southern has the ability to accomplish the 
deliveries to Alagasco without detriment or disadvantage to its ability 
to meet the firm requirements of its other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene and pursuant to Section 157.205 of the 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed thereunder, 
the proposed activities shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
