Commission

[Docket No. CP98–43–000]

PG&E-Tex, L.P.; Notice of Petition for

Declaratory Order

October 28, 1997.

Take notice that on October 21, 1997,

PG&E-Tex, L.P. (PG&E-Tex) filed in the

above docket, a petition for Declaratory

Order requesting the Commission to

declare that certain facilities being

acquired by PG&E-Tex from

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern) and Northern Natural

Gas Company (Northern) are ‘‘intrastate

pipeline’’ facilities as defined in section

2(16) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of

1978 (NGPA) and are exempt from the

Commission’s Natural Gas Act (NGA)

jurisdiction; and that the acquisition of

the facilities will not subject PG&E-Tex,

or its affiliate, PG&E-Tex Pipeline, L.P.,

which will operate the facilities, to the

Commission’s NGA jurisdiction.

The Transwestern facilities that are

the subject of the petition consist of

Transwestern’s Gomez Lateral located in

Ward and Pecos Counties, Texas.

Transwestern has filed in Docket No.

CP98–13–000 seeking permission to

abandon by sale, its Gomez Lateral that

consists of approximately 33 miles of

20-inch diameter pipeline and other

appurtenances.

The facilities to be acquired from

Northern are located in the Permian

Area of West Texas and consist of

approximately 250 miles of 6-inch

through 24-inch diameter pipeline, 9

compressor units at two compressor

stations, treating and dehydration

facilities, all delivery points located

along the length of the pipelines and all

other appurtenant facilities attached.

These facilities are the subject of an

abandonment application filed by

Northern in Docket No. CP98–14–000.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

petition should on or before November

6, 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

385.214 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 proceedings.

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.

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 Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

petition 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

petition 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 PG&E-Tex to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
