[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 115 (Thursday, June 13, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 30053] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-14994] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. RP96-265-000] PECO Energy Company v. Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation, Notice of Complaint June 7, 1996. Take notice that on June 3, 1996, PECO Energy Company (PECO Energy) tendered for filing a complaint against Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (Texas Eastern.) PECO Energy requests that the Commission order Texas Eastern to provide service on Line 1-A of the Philadelphia Lateral so that: PECO Energy can meet 1996-1997 winter heating requirements on its system. Specifically, PECO Energy states that it has sought increased deliverability off the Philadelphia Lateral due to increased load growth. Texas Eastern originally offered to build a new lateral adjacent to Line 1-H of the Philadelphia Lateral at a cost in excess of $30 million. Accordingly to PECO Energy it subsequently discovered that there was an existing lateral adjacent to Line 1-A. Line 1-A is an existing certificated facility. Texas Eastern neither has requested nor received abandonment authorization for Line 1-A. PECO Energy further states that Texas Eastern then offered to make Line 1-A available for service but only on the condition that PECO Energy pay Texas Eastern $4.58 million for hydrostatic testing and a regulating facility. PECO Energy avers that Texas Eastern is responsible for such costs given the certificated status of Line 1-A, and that PECO Energy should be responsible only for the cost of two new delivery points. PECO Energy states that it has served copies of the complaint by express delivery to representatives of Texas Eastern. Texas Eastern shall file any answer to the complaint with the Commission on or before July 3, 1996 in accordance with Section 385.213 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or protests should be filed on or before July 3, 1996. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection. Answers to this complaint shall be due on or before July 3, 1996. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary. [FR Doc. 96-14994 Filed 6-12 -96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P
