[Docket No. CP97–626–000]

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

August 26, 1997.

Take notice that on July 10, 1997

Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court,

Houston, Texas 77056–5310, filed in

Docket No. CP97–626–000 an

abbreviated application pursuant to

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to

increase the capacity of its Lebanon

Lateral facility. Texas Eastern seeks

authorization to construct, install, own,

operate and maintain certain

compression facilities at its existing Gas

City Compressor Station located in

Grant County, Indiana (Gas City) and at

its existing Glen Karn meter station in

Darke County, Ohio (Glen Karn), and

certain other ancillary and appurtenant

above-ground facilities. Such additional

compression will increase Texas

Eastern’s capacity in the Lebanon

Lateral by 302,290 Dth/d, up to a new

total of 661,510 Dth/d (650 MMcf/d

equivalent).

Specifically, Texas Eastern proposes

to install 8,900 HP of compression at

Gas City. Texas Eastern will install one

reciprocating gas engine rated at 3,400

HP and one reciprocating gas engine

rated at 5,500 HP. This additional

compression will increase the total

compression at Gas City from 3,400 HP

to 12,300 HP. In addition, to

accommodate the additional compressor

units, Texas Eastern will expand the

existing Gas City compressor buildings

and install associated ancillary facilities

and piping. All of the proposed facilities

at Gas City will be located wholly

within and on Texas Eastern’s existing

Gas City Compressor Station property.

Texas Eastern also proposes to install

a new 8,170 HP gas turbine-driven

centrifugal compressor at its existing

Glen Karn meter station site. Currently

there are no compression facilities

located at the Glen Karn station. To

house this proposed compressor unit,

Texas Eastern will construct compressor

station buildings and associated

ancillary facilities and piping. In

addition, Texas Eastern proposes to

upgrade its existing metering stations at

Glen Karn and at Lebanon in Warren

County, Ohio.

The estimated total capital cost of the

proposed facilities is approximately

$31,291,000. Texas Eastern proposes to

commence service utilizing the new

facilities on or before November 1, 1998.

Texas Eastern also requests

authorization to file a limited NGA

Section 4 proceeding, after receipt of the

authorizations requested and prior to

the in-service date of the proposed

facilities, to revise and restate the rates

applicable to Texas Eastern’s Part 284,

open-access Rate Schedules LLFT and

LLIT. Such revised and restated Rate

Schedule LLFT rates result in a base

Reservation Charge of $3.466 per Dth

and Usage-1 rate of $0.0023, $0.1163 on

a 100% load factor basis. In addition,

the revised and restated Rate Schedule

LLFT base rate will be $0.1163. These

revised and restated rates represent a

23% reduction, on a 100% load factor

basis, in the currently effective

maximum Rate Schedules LLFT and

LLIT rates.

Texas Eastern proposes to revise the

existing fuel shrinkage percentages

applicable to Rate Schedules LLFT and

LLIT to recognize the fuel associated

with the facilities. Texas Eastern has

calculated the estimated fuel usage of

the existing compression at Gas City and

the proposed facilities based on

historical utilization to arrive at an

estimated annual fuel shrinkage

percentage of 0.43%.

Texas Eastern intends to use all of the

additional capacity to be made available

by the Facilities to lease capacity on a

firm basis to Spectrum Interstate

Pipeline Corporation (‘‘Spectrum’’), a

wholly owned subsidiary of PanEnergy

Corporation and affiliate of Texas

Eastern. Texas Eastern has included in

its application, a letter of intent with

Spectrum whereby Spectrum intends to

enter into a lease for the increase of

capacity of 302,290 Dth/d. Subject to

Commission approval, Spectrum will be

a new interstate pipeline company that

will provide open-access transportation

service. The Spectrum Project will

provide natural gas transportation from

the Chicago area to Northeast markets

such as New York City, Philadelphia,

Newark, New Jersey and other markets

served by the Duke Energy pipelines.

Texas Eastern states that,

notwithstanding the foregoing, its

proposal is not contingent upon the

Spectrum Project. To the extent that all

of the capacity, to be made available by

the proposed facilities, is not leased to

Spectrum, Texas Eastern will make such

capacity available under the terms and

conditions of its Rate Schedules LLFT

and LLIT. To the extent Texas Eastern

does not have firm contractual

arrangements for the capacity to be

made available by the proposed

facilities before construction of such

facilities, Texas Eastern states that it

will be ‘‘at-risk’’ for recovery of such

costs.

By supplements dated August 5, and

25, 1997, Texas Eastern submitted two

service agreements, a precedent

agreement and a letter of intent. These

four documents account for 101,805

Dth/d of the proposed capacity.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before

September 16, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

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 proceedings. 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.

A person obtaining intervenor status
