[Docket No. CP96-338-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

April 29, 1996.
    Take notice that, on April 19, 1996, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed an abbreviated 
application in Docket No. CP96-338-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and 
operate new storage facilities in the Goodwell Storage Field, in 
Newaygo County, Michigan, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    ANR states that data recently obtained from the Goodwell Storage 
Field's observation wells indicate that the southeastern portion of the 
storage reservoir cannot be efficiently drained using the storage 
field's existing injection/withdrawal wells. ANR plans to drill the new 
horizontal injection/withdrawal well at the southeastern edge of the 
storage reservoir in the Goodwell Storage Field, and construct 
approximately 920 feet of 6-inch diameter pipeline to connect the new 
well to the storage field's gathering system. The estimated cost of the 
proposed facilities is $568,000.
    ANR states that the new well will improve the injection/withdrawal 
capability in the southeastern portion of the storage reservoir, and 
may increase withdrawals slightly toward the end of the storage 
withdrawal season. ANR adds, however, that the new well will not 
increase the maximum peak-day deliverability or the maximum working 
storage capacity of the storage field.
    ANR plans to drill the new well in the SE \1/4\ of Section 9, 
Goodwell Township, Newaygo County, Michigan, from a surface location 
127 feet southeast of ANR's Goodwell #57 injection/withdrawal 
well, encountering the storage reservoir approximately 400 feet 
southeast of the surface location. ANR plans to complete the new well 
by drilling approximately 1,500 feet of open drain hole to the 
southeast, ending in the NW \1/4\ of the NE \1/4\ of Section 16, in 
Goodwell Township.
    Any person desiring to be heard, or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before May 20, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 20426, a 
motion to intervene or 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, or 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 the Commission on its own motion

[[Page 19919]]

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 ANR to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
