Algonquin Gas Transmission

Company; Notice of Application

February 27, 1997.

Take notice that on February 21, 1997,

Algonquin Gas Transmission Company

(Algonquin), 1284 Soldiers Field Road,

Boston, Massachusetts 02135, filed an

application with the Commission in

Docket No. CP97–259–000 pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for

permission and approval to abandon

and remove pipe in New Jersey and

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the NGA in

order to temporary acquire temporary

workspace adjacent to the existing rightof-way to replace the removed pipe, all

as more fully set forth in the application

which is open to the public for

inspection.

Algonquin proposes to remove and

replace approximately 2,400 feet of 26-

inch diameter pipe in Raritan,

Hunterdon County, New Jersey, in order

to comply with a U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) class location

change. Algonquin states that it must

upgrade this portion of its pipeline or

lower the Maximum Allowable

Operating Pressure (MAOP) below the

currently effective MAOP of 750 psig by

January 17, 1998. Algonquin also states

that it would be unable to meet its

contractual obligations at an MAOP

lower than the present MAOP of 750

psig.

Algonquin proposed to acquire

temporary rights to use 35 feet of work

space adjacent to its existing right-ofway in order to remove the 2,400 feet of

pipe it needs to replace. Algonquin

states that it would place new 26-inch

diameter pipe in the same trench

excavated to remove the old pipe.

Algonquin further states that it would

be forced to operate heavy equipment

over its in-service 30-inch diameter loop

pipeline if Algonquin does not acquire

the temporary workspace. Algonquin

estimates that it would cost $1,312,833

to replace the removed pipe.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before March

20, 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 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 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 NGA 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 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 Algonquin to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
