[Docket No. CP94-207-003]


Southern California Gas Company; Notice of Amendment

February 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on January 31, 1997, Southern California Gas 
Company (SoCal), located at 555 West Fifth Street, Los Angeles, 
California 90013-1011, filed an amendment in Docket No. CP94-207-003, 
pursuant to Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 153 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the NGA, seeking to further amend the 
previously amended Section 3 authorization and the amended Presidential 
Permit, both issued May 22, 1995, to reflect a change in the location 
of pipeline and metering facilities it proposes to construct at the 
international boundary of the United States of America and Mexico.

[[Page 6236]]

    Specifically, SoCal now seeks to amend the previous authorization 
in order to site the border-crossing facilities 1.3 miles west of the 
previously authorized export point. The revised border-crossing 
facilities would consist of a meter station and 600 feet of 16-inch 
diameter pipe running from the meter station to the international 
boundary.\1\ According to SoCal, the proposed pipeline facilities will 
have the capacity to meet the expected demand of 40 MMcf of natural gas 
per day in the year 2000, although only 10 MMcf of natural gas per day 
would be exported initially.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The location of the new proposed border crossing is in 
Section 14, Township 17 South, Range 15 East, Imperial County, 
California.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SoCal request that such amendments be granted no later than March 
1, 1997, to permit the economic, environmental and safety benefits of 
natural gas to be enjoyed in Mexicali, Mexico and the United States/
Mexico border area at the earliest possible date, in order to provide 
the proposed service by July 15, 1997.0
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should, on or before February 26, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, DC 20426, a petition to intervene or protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214) and the Regulations under the NGA 
(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 petition to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules. Any person who has heretofore 
filed need not filed again.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
