[Docket No. CP97-105-000]


Trunkline Gas Company; Notice of Application

December 3, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 19, 1996, Trunkline Gas Company 
(Trunkline), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in Docket 
No. CP97-105-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA) requesting authority to construct and operate a 
compressor station in Ship Shoal Block 139, Offshore Louisiana and to 
operate its Patterson,

[[Page 64872]]

Louisiana compression station at an increased level of horsepower, all 
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Trunkline proposes to construct, install, own, and 
operate a compressor station to be located adjacent to Trunkline's T-25 
platform in Ship Shoal Block 139, Offshore Louisiana, consisting of an 
offshore platform, 3 compressor units, each nominally sized at 9,650 
horsepower and related facilities and to operate its Patterson, 
Louisiana Compressor Station at an increased level of horsepower from 
its currently certificated level. Trunkline states that the proposed 
facilities are necessary to receive and transport through its system up 
to 500,000 Mcf per of gas which is currently being developed in the 
overlapping production areas of Ewing Bank, Eugene Island, South 
Timbalier, Ship Shoal, South Pelto, Grand Isle and Green Canyon, 
Offshore Louisiana.
    Trunkline states that the total cost of the proposed facilities is 
estimated to be $52,217,940 and will be financed from funds on hand. 
Additionally, Trunkline states that it is not requesting that the cost 
of the proposed facilities be subject to a determination of rolled-in 
pricing and therefore, to the extent necessary, requests waiver of the 
policy statement in Docket No. PL94-4-000.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before December 24, 1996, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
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 jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulation 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, 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 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 Trunkline to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
