[Docket No. CP97-316-000]

Chandeleur Pipe Line Company; Notice of Application

April 8, 1997.
    Take notice that on March 31, 1997, Chandeleur Pipe Line Company 
(Chandeleur), P.O. Box 740339, New Orleans, Louisiana 70176-0339, filed 
in Docket No. CP97-316-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act for authorization to construct, install and operate 
four miles of 24-inch pipeline in Jackson County, Mississippi, all as 
more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Chandeleur proposes to construct four miles of 24-inch pipeline 
(Destin Extension) in order to connect Chandeleur's existing pipeline 
system with the interstate pipeline proposed to be constructed by 
Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C. in Docket No. CP96-655-000. Chandeleur 
states that the Destin Extension will enhance the reliability of gas 
supplies attached to Chandeleur's system.
    Chandeleur estimates the cost of the Destin Extension at 
$4,400,000. Chandeleur proposes to roll the costs of the Destin 
Extension into its existing open access transportation rates which 
would result in a rate increase of 3.2% to firm shippers.
    Chandeleur requests that the Commission issue a preliminary order 
on all non-environmental issues by July 1, 1997, and a final order by 
November 30, 1997. Chandeleur states that it will coordinate 
construction of the Destin Extension with the facilities proposed to be 
constructed by Destin Pipeline Company.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 29, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 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 
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 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 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 Chandeleur to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
