Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.; Notice of Application and Site Visit

February 12, 1996.
    Take notice that on January 31, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), 1010 Milam St., Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-164-000 an application pursuant to Section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act for authority to: (1) Transport up to 90,000 Dth of 
natural gas per day on a firm basis for Distrigas of Massachusetts 
Corporation (DOMAC); (2) construct and operate facilities to provide 
such service; and (3) abandon all or any part of the authorized 
facilities or service upon the expiration of the underlying contracts, 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Tennessee proposes to transport gas for DOMAC from 
DOMAC's LNG plant in Everett, Massachusetts to fifteen delivery points 
in Zone 6 on Tennessee's pipeline system, commencing on November 1, 
1998, in the following quantities:

                                                                Quantity
                             Date                                 (Dth/ 
                                                                  day)  
------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 1, 1998..............................................    55,000
November 1, 1999..............................................    70,000
November 1, 2000..............................................    80,000
November 1, 2001..............................................    90,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To provide the service, Tennessee proposes to construct and operate 
7.54 miles of 20-inch pipeline and related facilities from DOMAC's LNG 
plant to a point on Tennessee's Revere lateral in Saugus, Massachusetts 
at an estimated cost of $25,871,276.
    Tennessee would charge DOMAC its Part 284 rate under Rate Schedule 
FT-A for the service, and requests a binding determination from the 
Commission that the costs of the facilities will not be rolled-in to 
Tennessee's systemwide cost of service for the 15-year term of the 
proposed service.
    Take further notice that on March 4, 1996, the Office of Pipeline 
Regulation staff, accompanied by representatives of Tennessee, will 
conduct a site visit to the locations of facilities being proposed a 
Tennessee in the DOMAC Project. The proposed facilities are located in 
the cities of Revere, Malden and Everett, and the town of Saugus, 
Massachusetts. Those planning to attend must provide their own 
transportation. For further information, call Ms. Lauren O'Donnell, 
(202) 208-0325.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 4, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426) 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 a 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 

[[Page 6237]]
filed within the time required herein, if the Commission on its own 
review of the matter finds that permission and approval for the 
proposed abandonment and grant of certificate 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.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
