[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 179 (Tuesday, September 16, 1997)] [Notices] [Pages 48639-48640] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-24448] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP97-683-000] Ozark Gas Transmission; Notice of Application September 10, 1997. Take notice that on August 6, 1997, Ozark Gas Transmission System (Ozark), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP97-683-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to construct and operate a receipt point in Franklin County, Arkansas, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Ozark proposes to install and operate a receipt point in Franklin County in order to receive natural gas production into its system. Ozark states that the proposed receipt point would allow Ozark to receive an additional 1,500 Dekaterm equivalent of natural gas per day into its system. Ozark would install approximately 4,500 feet of 4.5- inch diameter pipe and the necessary metering and tie-in facilities on its pipeline system. Ozark also states that it would finance the estimated $71,600 construction cost of the proposed receipt point with funds on hand. Ozark states that the natural gas volumes it would receive via the proposed receipt point are within certificated volumes on Ozark's system, and the addition of receipt point facilities would be consistent with [[Page 48640]] Ozark's open access tariff and blanket transportation certificate. Ozark also states that it has filed its request in this proceeding in compliance with the Stipulation and Agreement issued in Docket No. CP78-532-000, et al. [(22 FERC para. 61,334 at 61,578 (1983)]. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before October 1, 1997, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10).

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 NGA 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.
