Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Proposed

Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

March 5, 1997.

Take notice that on February 28, 1997

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco) tendered for

filing certain revised tariff sheets to

Third Revised Volume No. 1 of its FERC

Gas Tariff enumerated in Appendix A

attached to the filing.

Transco states that the instant filing is

submitted pursuant to Section 38 of the

General Terms and Conditions of

Transco’s FERC Gas Tariff which

provides that Transco will file, to be

effective each April 1, a redetermination

of its fuel retention percentages

applicable to transportation and storage

rate schedules. The derivations of the

revised fuel retention percentages

included herein are based on Transco’s

estimate of gas required for operations

(GRO) for the forthcoming annual

period April 1997 through March 1998

plus the balance accumulated in the

Deferred GRO Account at January 31,

1997.

Transco states that an alternate tariff

sheet has also been tendered for filing

which reflects a change in the method

used to derive the fuel retention factor

applicable to Section 7(c) firm

transportation service provided by

Transco under Rate Schedule FT–NT.

The proposed method would effect the

sole remaining Rate Schedule FT–NT

shipper (New York Power Authority) in

that they would be assessed the system

transmission fuel retention percentage

in zone 6 rather than an incrementally

determined fuel percentage.

Included in Appendices B and B–1

attached to the filing are the workpapers

supporting the derivation of the revised

fuel retention factors.

Transco states that copies of the filing

have been served upon its affected

customers and interested State

Commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests must be

filed as provided in Section 154.210 of

the Commission’s Regulations. Protests

will be considered by the Commission

in determining the appropriate action to

be taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room.

Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

March 5, 1997.

Take notice that on February 25, 1997,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG),

One Williams Center, P.O. Box 3288,

Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket

No. CP97–266–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216

of the Commission’s Regulations under

the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.212, 157.216) for authorization to

relocate the Western Resources, Inc.

(WRI) Capron, Oklahoma and Kiowa,

Kansas town borders from the Pampa

20-inch pipeline to an adjacent 4-inch

pipeline and then to abandon the

delivery of gas from the Pampa 20-inch

pipeline, located in Alfalfa County,

Oklahoma, under WNG’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

479–000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the

Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

forth in the request that is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

WNG proposes to deliver gas from the

new 4-inch pipeline to the Kiowa town

border, located in Barber County,

Kansas and the Capron town border,

located in Woods County, Oklahoma

and then to abandon the delivery of gas

from the 20-inch pipeline, located in

Alfalfa County, Oklahoma.

WNG states that the volumes

delivered from the new 4-inch pipeline

will be the same as those currently

delivered from the 20-inch pipeline.

WNG asserts that most recent peak day

and annual deliveries for the Kiowa

town border are 18 Dth and 2,286 Dth,

respectively, and for the Capron town

border are 688 Dth and 85,834 Dth,

respectively. WNG declares the total

volume to be delivered under the

authorization requested herein will not

exceed the total volume authorized,

since no change in volume is

anticipated.

WNG states there will be no change to

facilities or location for either the Kiowa

or Capron town borders, simply service

from a different pipeline, with the total

project cost estimated to be $56,552.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefore,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

Wyoming Interstate Company Ltd.;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 47 / Tuesday, March 11, 1997 / Notices 11173

Volume No. 1, and Second Revised

Volume No. 2 the tariff sheets listed in

Appendix A to the filing, to be effective

May 1, 1997. WIC states on November 1, 1996 it

filed in Docket No. RP97–62–000 pro

forma tariff sheets to comply with Order

No. 587. As part of WIC’s filing its

proposed revisions to its Volume No. 1

tariff to comply with Order No. 587

standards. However, in the

Commission’s order on WIC’s

compliance filing (Compliance Order)

issued January 16, 1997, the

Commission stated WIC must remove all

proposed pro forma tariff changes to its

Volume No. 1 tariff as this tariff is only

for service under Part 157 of the

Commission’s regulations. The

Compliance Order stated WIC could file

these proposed changes separately as a

limited section 4 filing. The Compliance

Order further stated WIC’s proposed

new Headstation Pooling Rate Schedule

in Volume No. 2 goes beyond the scope

of Order No. 587 and should also be

addressed in a limited section 4 filing.

WIC states this is the purpose of this

filing. WIC states that copies of this filing

have been served on WIC’s

jurisdictional customers and public

bodies.

Any person desiring to protest this

filing should file a motion to intervene

or protest with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in

accordance with Section 385.214 and

Section 385.211 of the Commission’s

Regulations. All such motions or

protests must be filed in accordance

with Section 154.210 of the

Commission’s Regulations. Protests will

be considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and area available for

Request for Exception

Nugent Motor Company, 2/11/97, VEE–

0033

Nugent Motor Company (Nugent)

filed an Application for Exception

requesting relief from the requirement

that it file the Energy Information

Administration form entitled

‘‘Resellers’/Retailers’ Monthly

Petroleum Product Sales Report’’ (Form

EIA–782B). The DOE found that even

though one clerk worked overtime to

complete the form, the filing

requirement did not constitute a special

hardship, inequity or unfair distribution

of burdens. Therefore, the Application

was denied.

Refund Application

Gulf Oil Corp./Bounds Oil Company, 2/

14/97, RF300–289

A refund of $2,221 including interest

is awarded in the Gulf Oil Corporation

(Gulf) special refund proceeding to the

heir of a partner of Bounds Oil

Company (BOC), a business that

purchased Gulf products. The

application was previously denied due

to inadequate documentation of the

partnership and the heir’s ownership

interest. Here, the applicant

substantiated that he was the sole heir

of a partner who owned fifty percent of

BOC. The applicant was therefore

granted a refund equal to fifty percent

of BOC’s allocable share of the Gulf

refund, plus applicable interest.

Refund Applications

The Office of Hearings and Appeals

issued the following Decisions and

Orders concerning refund applications,

which are not summarized. Copies of

the full texts of the Decisions and

Orders are available in the Public

Reference Room of the Office of
