[Docket No. CP97-783-000]
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

October 9, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 30, 1997, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit Michigan 48243, filed, in Docket No. 
CP97-783-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 
Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for authorization 
to utilize temporary work spaces and for any other authorization deemed 
necessary associated with a pipeline replacement project in La Porte 
County, Indiana, all as more fully set forth in the application which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    ANR proposes to replace a 0.62 mile line segment of both its 22-
inch O.D. main line and its 30-inch O.D. loop line beginning at Mile 
Post 891.69 to satisfy the safety requirements of Part 192 of the U.S. 
Department of Transportation's regulations. ANR states that in order to 
make the replacement it will have to utilize temporary work spaces 
which may not have been included in the scope of the original 
authorization to construct the facilities. Therefore, ANR requests the 
temporary use of work space and any other authorizations deemed 
necessary by the Commission in order to make the replacement. ANR 
states that the construction will be done within the existing right-of-
way under the authority of section 2.55 of the Commission's 
regulations, which authorizes replacement within the existing right-of-
way.
     Any person desiring to be participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before 
October 30, 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 385.211 and 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.
    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 as 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 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

[[Page 53830]]

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 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 ANR to appear or to be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
