Mobil Natural Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Application

September 26, 1997.

Take notice that on September 11,

1997, Mobil Natural Gas Pipeline

Company (MNGPC), filed in Docket No.

CP97–750–000 an application pursuant

to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for

authorizations necessary to acquire and

convert to natural gas service a 2.5 mile

portion of a mothballed 6.5 mile

pipeline previously used for fuel oil

delivery; to own, operate, and maintain

the Gibson Point Pipeline System and

certain appurtenant facilities thereto; to

construct check metering facilities at the

Paulsboro, New Jersey refinery owned

by Mobil Oil Corporation (Mobil Oil); to

construct a ‘‘T’’ with a flange at an

interconnection with Texas Eastern

Transmission Corporation (Texas

Eastern); to own certain facilities

interconnecting with the existing Texas

Eastern pipeline system; and to provide

transportation service from the Texas

Eastern interconnect to the Paulsboro,

New Jersey refinery, all as set forth in

the application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

MNGPC states that it proposes to

acquire and convert to gas service

approximately 2.5 miles of the fuel oil

pipeline extending from Delaware

County, Pennsylvania, where an

interconnection is to be established with

the existing 16-inch Line 1–A–1 of

Texas Eastern, to the existing terminus

at the Paulsboro Refinery. In addition,

MNGPC proposes to construct check

metering facilities at the Paulsboro

Refinery and a ‘‘T’’ at the Texas Eastern

interconnect. At the Texas Eastern

interconnect, Texas Eastern will

construct and operate a tap, a meter

station, connecting pipe, and electronic

gas measurement equipment. The sole

function of the converted pipeline will

be to provide transportation service to

the Paulsboro Refinery owned by Mobil

Oil, pursuant to a 15-year transportation

agreement for 27 MMcf/day. It is stated

that approval of this application will

allow Mobil Oil to: (i) Obrain the

lowest-cost fuel supply at its Paulsboro

refinery; (ii) eliminate use of an existing

electric compressor, thereby reducing

emissions and noise levels at the

refinery; and (iii) replace, with natural

gas, refinery products that are currently

being used to fuel a cogeneration

facility.

It is asserted that the pipeline would

be converted and the metering facilities,

the ‘‘T’’ with a flange, and the

interconnecting facilities would be

constructed in the fall of 1997 for an inservice date of December 17, 1997. The

costs of Texas Eastern’s construction of

the interconnecting facilities are

estimated to be approximately

$1,135,000. The costs of constructing

the metering facilities and the ‘‘T’’ with
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 191 / Thursday, October 2, 1997 / Notices 51651

a flange are estimated to be

approximately $200,000.

MNGPC states that the proposed

conversion of the fuel oil pipeline to

natural gas and the proposed

construction and operation of the

interconnecting facilities and facilities

appurtenant to the Gibson Point

Pipeline will have no significant

environmental effects. Construction

related to the pipeline will be minimal

and will occur either on the wellbuffered property of the Paulsboro

Refinery itself or in areas that already

are industrial in nature. No new rightof-way is required for the converted

pipeline because MNGPC will use

existing pipeline facilities located in an

existing right-of-way.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before October

14, 1997 file with 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 385.211 or 385.214

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

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

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

petition to intervene is filed within the

time required herein or if the

Commission on its own review of the

matter finds that a grant of the

application is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a petition

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 MNGPC to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
