[Docket No. CP98–28–000]

Columbia Gulf Transmission

Company; Notice of Application

October 21, 1997.

Take notice that on October 15, 1997,

Columbia Gulf Transmission Company

(Columbia), 2603 Augusta, Suite 125,

Houston, Texas 7057–5637, filed an

application pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of

the Commission’s Regulations

thereunder for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity authorizing

the construction and operation of

certain natural gas facilities and an

order granting permission and approval

to abandon the facilities being replaced,

all as more fully set forth in the

application on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Specifically, Columbia seeks

authorization for the construction and

operation of one Solar Mars 100S

turbine compressor unit and to abandon

by replacement the existing Pratt and

Whitney GG3 gas turbine compressor.

The facilities proposed for replacement

are part of Columbia’s Hampshire

Compressor Station located in Maury

County, Tennessee. The proposed

replacement is part of Columbia’s

ongoing program to replace its GG3

compressor units to ensure more

efficient and reliable operation of its

pipeline system. Columbia estimates the

cost of construction at $11,500,000 and

the accumulated Provision for

Depreciation of Gas Utility Plant to be

$1,767,566.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 12, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 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 protests 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.

A person obtaining intervenor 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 intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must submit

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well a 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 meetings

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 intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and 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 herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a 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 Columbia to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.

[Docket No. RP98–17–000]

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners;

Notice of Tariff Filing

October 21, 1997.

Take notice that on October 15, 1997,

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners

(DIGP) tendered for filing as part of its

FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1,

revised tariff sheets to be effective on

the same date that DIGP’s compliance

tariff, filed on September 2, 1997 in

Docket No. CP97–300–002, is permitted

to become effective. The revised tariff

sheets tendered by DIGP are listed on

Appendix A to the filing.

DIGP states that the purpose of its

filing is threefold: (i) compliance with

Order No. 636–C, which requires any

pipeline with a right-of-first refusal

tariff provision containing a contract

matching term cap longer than five

years to revise its tariff; (ii) compliance

with a Commission order issued on June

27, 1997, 79 FERC ¶ 61,391 (1997),

requiring DIGP to file tariff sheets to

implement the EDI/EDM requirements

proposed by the Gas Industry Standards

Board and adopted by the Commission

in Order Nos. 587 et al.; and (iii)

revisions to conform the tariff to the

operating capabilities of the computer

system to be used by DIGP, to more

accurately reflect how the DIGP

facilities will be operated on a daily

basis and to provide the same level of

flexibility that has been approved in

other recently-issued Commission

orders. The tariff sheet that reflects the

first category of changes, compliance

with Order No. 636–C, is Substitute

Original Sheet No. 183, Section 18.4.

The tariff sheets reflecting the second

category of changes, compliance with

the EDI/EDM requirements, are

Substitute Original Sheet No. 169,

Section 14.1 and Substitute Original

Sheet No. 226. All of the remaining

tariff sheets are intended to set forth the

third category of changes.

DIGP further requests that the

Commission waive sections 154.203(b)

and 154.207 of the regulations to permit

the filing of the tariff sheets and their
