Take notice that on October 16, 2000,

El Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso),

Post Office Box 1492, El Paso, Texas

79978, filed in Docket No. CP01–12–000

an application pursuant to Sections 7(c)

and (b) of the Natural Gas Act for a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity to relocate and replace 6.88

miles of 16-inch diameter pipe on Line

No. 2039 with 24-inch pipe, and to

relocate the existing Southern Avenue

Meter Station located in Maricopa

County, Arizona. In addition, El Paso

requests permission and approval to

abandon the replaced 16-inch diameter

Line No. 2039 facilities and four

miscellaneous tap facilities currently

located on Line No. 2039, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection. This filing may be

viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us./online/rims.htm (call

(202) 208–2222 for assistance).

El Paso states that tremendous

residential and commercial growth in

the West Phoenix area and its environs

has raised serious issues relating to

right-of-way encroachment and

Department of Transportation (DOT)

compliance. In response to these issues,

El Paso states that it will relocate 6.88

miles of Line No. 2039 currently located

at Elliot Road and 43rd Avenue in

Maricopa County, Arizona, to a location

that is east of the existing route. El Paso

states that the increase in residential

and commercial growth in the West

Phoenix area has also prompted an

increased need for the delivery of

natural gas from Line No. 2039. It is

stated that Arizona Public Service

Company (APS) has requested El Paso to

deliver an additional 95 MMcf per day

of natural gas to its West Phoenix Power

Plant located in Maricopa County,

Arizona. It is stated that in order to

accommodate APS’ load growth

requirement, the relocated Line No.

2039 will consist of 24-inch diameter

pipe instead of 16-inch diameter pipe.

In addition, it is stated that El Paso will

relocate the existing Southern Avenue

meter Station currently located on the

existing 16-inch diameter Line No. 2039

to a new location along the proposed 24-

inch alignment. El Paso states that once

Line No. 2039 has been relocated,

replaced and in service, El Paso will

abandon in place and by removal, the

replaced 16-inch Line No. 2039 pipeline

facilities and four miscellaneous tap

facilities currently located on Line No.

2039.

El Paso states that the estimated cost

of the proposed project is $6,579,988. El

Paso states that the project will be

financed with the use of internally

generated funds and that APS has

agreed to reimburse El Paso 50 percent

of the cost of pipe relocation and

replacement of the 6.88 miles of Line

No. 2039. El Paso states that it will

continue to charge its existing Part 284

rates for transportation. El Paso further

states that the transportation rates to

existing customers currently being

served through Line No. 2039 will not

change as a result of this project.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to A.W.

Clark, Vice President, El Paso Natural

Gas Company at (915) 496–2600, Post

Office Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978.

[Docket No. CP01–18–000]

Koch Gateway Pipeline Company;

Notice of Application

October 26, 2000.

Take notice that on October 24, 2000,

Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch

Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston,

Texas 77251–1478, filed an application

in Docket No. CP01–18–000 pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) and Section 157.18 of the

Commission’s Regulations for

permission and approval to abandon by

removal approximately 12,497 feet of

16-inch pipeline from Station Number

945+63 to Station Number 820+66 on its

Latex-Forth Worth Mainline designated

as Index 1 1 in Harrison County, Texas

(SWEPCO Segment), all as more fully

set forth in the application on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

This filing may be viewed on the web

at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance). Any questions regarding

this application should be directed to:

Kyle Stephens, director of Certificates,

Koch Gateway Pipeline Company, P.O.

Box 1478, Houston, Texas, 77251–1478,

(713) 544–7309.

Koch Gateway states that the

SWEPCO Segment is in direct conflict

with an active surface lignite mine

operated by Southwestern Electric

Power Company (SWEPCO), a division

of American Electric Power. Koch

Gateway states that in November 1996,

Koch Gateway moved the remaining

customers from Index 1 to Index 65–2

and idled Index 1 from Station Number

00+0 to Station Number 1190+15 in east

Texas. SWEPCO operates an active

surface lignite coal mine that provides

the lignite fuel for its local electric

generation facility, the Pirkey Power

Plant, in the vicinity of the east end of

Index 1. For the surface area covered by

the mine, SWEPCO owns the land in fee

or underlying landowners have assigned

their surface rights to SWEPCO.

Although portions of both Index 1 and

Index 65–2 have been relocated to

accommodate previous surface mining

activities, the mining activities will

again be in direct conflict with Index 1

and Index 65–2. Koch Gateway will

relocate the active line, Index 65–2,2 but

believes it is in the public convenience

and necessity to request abandonment

of the SWEPCO Segment of idled line—

Index 1—at this time.3 This will save

SWEPCO the relocation costs associated

with Index 1. Due to the pending

encroachment by the mining operations,

Koch Gateway proposes herein to

abandon by removal the SWEPCO

Segment—Station Number 945+63 to

Station Number 820+66—except for two

road crossings. To address SWEPCO’s

Removal Request, Koch Gateway states

it needs to begin removal of the

SWEPCO Segment by January 1, 2001.

Koch Gateway states it will provide

the required landowner notifications

and notifications to government entities

affected by the proposed project

including towns, communities and

government agencies. Also, Koch

Gateway states that public notice of the

proposed project will be published

twice in a daily or weekly newspaper of

general circulation in each county in

which the project is located; and

further, copies of the application will be

available at a library in a central

location in each county in which the

project is located.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 16, 2000, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20426, a petition 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. Any person wishing

to become 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. Beginning November 1, 2000,

comments and protests may be filed

electronically via the internet in lieu of

paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

and the instructions on the

Commission’s web site at http;//

www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.

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 petition 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 petition

for leave 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 provided for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Koch Gateway to appear
