Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 23 / Tuesday, February 4, 1997 / Notices 5217

pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas

Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request on file with the Commission and

open to public inspection.

Specifically, Northern proposes to

install and operate three high speed

1,400 Hp reciprocating units and two

6,960 Hp gas turbine compressor units,

at its Sublette Compressor Station.

Northern states that it intends to use the

five proposed compressors in lieu of the

ten units that Northern is proposing to

abandon in a companion application

that it filed in Docket No. CP97–190–

000. It is stated that the ten units that

Northern proposes to abandon in the

companion filing were installed in the

late 1940’s and early 1970’s, and that

parts are not readily available for

maintenance or repair. Northern avers

that the five new units that it is

proposing to install and operate in this

filing, will eliminate the need for the

old and near obsolete units.

Northern estimates the cost to install

the proposed facilities to be

$18,169,257. Northern states that the

proposed units will provide the ability

for remote operation from a central

location, reduce air emissions, and

provide for more overall efficient

operation of the Sublette Compression

Station. It is further stated that the

proposed facilities are designed to

maintain existing pipeline capacity, and

that Northern does not anticipate an

increase in capacity as a result of the

installation of the proposed compressor

units.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 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protest is filed and not withdrawn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.

Secretary.

located at any of the five farm taps.
