Commission and open to public

inspection.

Texas Eastern proposes to construct

and install one 8-inch tap on Texas

Eastern’s existing Line No. 1–H, at

approximate Mile Post 10.07, so that

Texas Eastern may provide natural gas

deliveries to PECO Energy Company

(PECO), an existing Texas Eastern

customer. The proposed facilities will

consist of an 8–inch tap valve, two 8-

inch check valves and approximately 40

feet of 8-inch piping (Tap). Texas

Eastern states that it will own, operate

and maintain the Tap.

It is stated that PECO will construct

and own the related meter station

consisting of dual 8-inch turbine meters,

dual 4-inch regulators, heat exchangers,

odorant facilities and EGM (Meter

operate and maintain the Meter Station.

Texas Eastern states that PECO will

reimburse it for 100 percent of the costs

and expenses that Texas Eastern will

incur for installing the Tap. Such costs

and expenses are estimated to be

approximately $94,000.

The proposed facilities will allow

Texas Eastern to deliver up to 45 MMcf/

d to PECO at Hershey Mills under Texas

Eastern’s existing open access service

agreements with PECO on file as part of

Texas Eastern’s FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth

Revised Volume No. 1. Texas Eastern

contends that its tariff does not prohibit

the addition of this facility. Texas

Eastern further states that the addition

of the delivery point will have no effect

on its peak day or annual deliveries.

Texas Eastern submits that its proposal

will be accomplished without detriment

or disadvantage to Texas Eastern’s other

customers.

Texas Eastern states that the Hershey

Mills delivery point proposed herein is

currently part of the Joint Stipulation

and Agreement in Docket Nos. RP96–

265, et al. (Settlement) and proposed to

be constructed in Docket No. CP97–

276–000. Texas Eastern contends that it

makes this filing at the request of PECO,

one of the parties to receive service

under the Settlement, so that PECO may

utilize the Hershey Mills delivery point

this winter heating season. It is stated

that the design of the Hershey Mills

delivery point proposed herein is the
55234 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 205 / Thursday, October 23, 1997 / Notices

same as proposed in the settlement. In

addition, it is stated that the costs for

the Hershey Mills delivery point are

included in the cost of the facilities

proposed in the Settlement. Texas

Eastern states that PECO will reimburse

Texas Eastern for 100 percent of the

costs of the Hershey Mills delivery point

through the Settlement rate once

authorized. However, in the event that

the Settlement does not become

effective under its terms, Texas Eastern

states that PECO will reimburse Texas

Eastern directly for the costs of the

Hershey Mills delivery point.

Notwithstanding that the Hershey Mills

delivery point proposed herein is part of

the Settlement, Texas Eastern states that

this filing does not amend, modify, alter

or otherwise affect or disturb the terms

and conditions of the Settlement as

filed.

Any person or the Commission’s staff
