Commission

[Docket No. CP97–317–000]

Chandeleur Pipe Line Company;

Notice of Application

April 10, 1997.

Take notice that on March 31, 1997,

Chandeleur Pipe Line Company

(Chandeleur), 1400 Woodloch Forest

Drive, The Woodlands, Texas 77380

filed an application pursuant to

Sections 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and

Part 157 of the Commission’s

Regulations for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity authorizing

the construction, installation, and

operation of two (2) compressors with a

total of 10,380 HP, approximately 16

miles of 24-inch pipeline, five miles of

12-inch pipeline, and all related

pipeline interconnection, metering, and

control equipment (the ‘‘System

Expansion’’). Chandeleur’s application

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Chandeleur states that one

compressor will be located at Venice in

Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana and the

other compressor will be at Pascagoula

in Jackson County, Mississippi.

Chandeleur states that the proposed

System Expansion will increase its

system delivery capacity from 280

MMcf per day to 400 MMcf per day.

Chandeleur further states that the

System Expansion will relieve a

bottleneck that is projected to develop

in the interstate pipeline grid in

Louisiana. In addition, Chandeleur

states that the System Expansion will

provide for more efficient use of its

existing system and provide access,

through the facilities proposed to be

constructed by Destin Pipeline

Company, L.L.C. (‘‘Destin’’), in Docket

No. CP96–655–000, et al., to six

interstate pipelines.

In addition, Chandeleur is filing pro

forma tariff sheets to implement a

Transportation Cost Rate Adjustment

(‘‘TCRA’’). If Chandeleur shippers do

not choose to hold Destin capacity

directly, Chandeleur proposes to recover

the costs related to that capacity through

the TCRA mechanism.

Chandeleur estimates the cost of the

System Expansion at $45.6 million.

Chandeleur states it proposes to roll the

costs of the System Expansion into its

existing open access transportation

rates, because roll-in results in

significant system-wide benefits.

Chandeleur also proposes to mitigate

the effect of rolled-in rates on its current

shippers.

Chandeleur’s application requests that

the Commission issue a preliminary

order on all non-environmental issues

by November 1, 1997 and a final order

approving construction of the system

Expansion by April 1, 1998. Chandeleur

proposes to place the System Expansion

facilities in place by January 1, 1999.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 1,

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

385.211 and 385.214) 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 severe to make

the protestants parties to the

proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party in any proceeding

herein 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

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

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 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 Chandeleur to appear or

to be represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
