Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP98–6–000]

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners;

Notice of Application

October 10, 1997.

Take notice that on October 3,

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners

(DIGS), c/o OEDC, Inc., 1400 Woodloch

Forest Drive, Suite 200, the Woodlands,

Texas 77380, filed in Docket Nos. CP98–

6–000 an application, pursuant to

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and

Section 157 of thy Commission’s

Regulations, for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity to construct

facilities to implement the second phase

of a two-stage construction project to

attach offshore supplies to an onshore

delivery point near Coden, Louisiana.

Specifically, DIGS proposes to (1)

construct and operate approximately 13

miles of 24-inch pipeline extending

from Alabama state waters at State Tract

73 to a proposed processing facility near

Coden, Alabama, and (2) abandon a

temporary interconnection located in

Alabama State Tract 73 between DIGS

existing facilities and DIGS’ 65-mile

pipeline authorized to be constructed by

DIGS in Docket No. CP97–300–000, and

for approval of pro forma tariff sheets

providing for negotiated rates for both

firm and interruptible services, and

other tariff modifications, all as more

fully set forth in the applications, which

are on file with the Commission and

open for public inspection.

DIGS states that, in its application

filed in Docket No. CP97–300–000, it

proposed to construct its system in two

stages, with authorization sought in that

application only for the first phase.

DIGS indicated that the Phase I facilities

would extend from Main Pass Block 225

to Alabama State Tract 73 (MP

facilities). DIGS also stated that,

pending completion of the Phase II

facilities, which are being proposed in

this application, the Phase I facilities

would interconnect temporarily with

existing facilities that extend from Block

73 onshore to Coden, Alabama (the DI

facilities) where gas would be delivered

to the systems of interstate pipeline

companies.

DIGS estimates a construction cost of

the proposed facilities of $19,368,716,

which would be financed from cash on

hand from the various partners of DIGS.

DIGS has included pro forma tariff

sheets with its application as First

Revised Volume No. 1 to its tariff setting

forth the rate schedules, general terms

and conditions and forms of service

agreements that would be provided if

the requested certificate is granted. It is

indicated the proposed tariff would

replace the Original Volume No. 1 of the

tariff filed on September 2, 1997, in

compliance with the June 27, 1997,

order approving the Phase I facilities. It

is also stated that the proposed tariff

reflects separate service for the DI

facility in that, after Phase II is

completed, Dauphin Island’s DI

facilities and MP facilities will no

longer be connected and will ship gas of

different qualities. DIGS states that as a

result, different quality specifications

are set forth for the transportation of

rich gas through the MP facilities and

lean gas through the DI facilities.

DIGS states that the Commission’s

June 27, 1997, order permitted DIGS to

charge and collect a recourse rate of

$0.1756 for Rate Schedule FT–1 and

further authorized DIGS to charge

negotiated rates for service under Rate

Schedules FT–2 and FT–3. It is

indicated that the June 27, 1997, order

stated that the Commission would

review DIGS’ rate methodology when

DIGS filed its certificate application for

the Phase II facilities. DIGS now

proposes to modify its methodology to

reflect that it will be operating two

separate jurisdictional facilities because

of different operational requirements

related to the rich versus lean nature of

the two gas streams and assertion of

Commission jurisdiction over facilities

previously operated as gathering
54100 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 200 / Friday, October 17, 1997 / Notices

facilities. DIGS now proposes to

establish a separate recourse rate for

each facility to reflect that discrete DIGS

facilities will be operated independently

of each other. DIGS indicates that the

recourse rate for each facility will be the

applicable FT–1 rate. DIGS also

proposes to continue to collect

negotiated rates under Rate Schedules

FT–2 and FT–3. Also, DIGS for the first

time proposes negotiated rates for

interruptible service.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before October

31, 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

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 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

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 and permission and approval

for the proposed abandonment are

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 DIGS to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Secretary.

proposed abandonment and tie-over

measures.

abandonment of service is proposed

herein, and that it will continue to
