Black Marlin proposes to abandon the measuring and regulating facilities at two interconnections between Black Marlin and HPL (HPL Texas City and HPL Grant Avenue Stations). It is stated that both interconnections were constructed under Commission authorization in Docket No. CP84-354-000 as part of a 13-mile extension of its pipeline system. It is asserted that Black Marlin proposes to sell the facilities to HPL in response to a request from HPL. It is further asserted that HPL will continue to use the facilities as part of its distribution system to serve its gas system and that there will be no loss of service to any customer. Black Marlin states that the proposal is not prohibited by its FERC gas tariff and that it has sufficient capacity without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 14 days after issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 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 shall be deemed to be authorized effective 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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.
