Koch states that the cost of the proposed facilities is $6,095,000.
Koch is proposing this construction so that it can transport 15,000 Dth
per day (Dth/d) for Southern Services, Inc., (SCS) acting as agent for
Alabama Power Company (APC). This gas will be used by APC to fuel gas
fired electric generation facilities being constructed at Plant Barry.
Gas will be provided to Koch for APC's account at primary receipts
points by APC's upstream suppliers, these volumes will then be shipped
by Koch to an interconnection with Bay Gas on Koch's Index 301-8-10
line. Bay Gas will then transport the volumes on its intrastate line to
APC's Plant Barry. Koch states that the proposed looping will allow it
to inject the additional 15,000 Dth/d into the system of Bay Gas for
delivery to Plant Barry. Service on Koch's system for APC will be
provided under its Rate Schedule FTS.
Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before
August 16, 1999, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 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. The Commission's rules require
that protestors provide copies of their protest to the party or parties
directly involved. 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.
Any person obtaining intervener status will be placed on the
service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one
of the interveners. An intervener can file for rehearing of any
Commission order and can petition for court review of any such order.
However, an intervener must submit copies of comments or any other
filing it makes with the Commission to every other intervener in the
proceeding, as well as 14 copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however in order to have
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meeting
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final
order to a federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally,
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervener status.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in an
subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory 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 therein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that 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 Koch to appear or to be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
