Authorization

the above

[[Page 51930]]

docket, a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212(a) of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
acquire and operate certain metering and regulating (M&R) facilities, 
in accordance with a Bill of Sale dated May 20, 1996, between Questar 
and Mountain Fuel Supply Company (MFS), Questar's local distribution 
company affiliate, that serve the FMC Corporation (FMC) located in 
Sweetwater County, Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in the request 
that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Questar explains that the recent acquisition of the 
M&R facilities allows it to have direct operational control of the 
facilities. Since the acquisition, Questar further explains that it has 
continued the delivery of natural gas directly to FMC. Questar states 
that MFS no longer own or operates any facilities associated with 
natural-gas deliveries to FMC.
    Questar states that the M&R facilities comprise a 6-inch meter run 
and meter building, a Barton Dryflow meter, a 3-inch Fisher flow 
controller with associated valves and piping, primary and secondary 
one-inch and two-inch Fisher regulator bank assemblies, a 500 gallon 
odorant storage tank and other appurtenant facilities specifically 
listed in a Bill of Sale. In accordance with this Bill of Sale, Questar 
also explains that MFS sold the M&R facilities to Questar for $16,945 
and that the acquisition and continued operation of the subject M&R 
facilities has not required any construction activities, but, rather 
has involved only the contractual transfer of facility ownership, thus 
resulting in no effect on the existing environment.
    Questar further states that it provides service to FMC in 
accordance with an existing interruptible Rate Schedule T-2 
transportation service agreement dated May 6, 1987. It is asserted that 
the service agreement provides for the interruptible transportation of 
up to 7,000 Mcf per day of natural gas on behalf of FMC from all 
receipt points on Questar's transmission system to the existing FMC 
delivery point and that natural-gas volumes may also be transported to 
FMC delivery point through use of capacity-release arrangements on 
Questar's transmission system.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
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 or notice of intervention and pursuant 
to Sec. 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 therefor, the 
proposed activity is deemed to be authorized effective on the day after 
the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 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.
