DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP98–304–000]

Arcadia Midcoast of New York, L.L.C.

Complainant, vs. CNG Transmission

Corporation Respondent; Notice of

Complaint

April 14, 1998.

Take notice that on March 25, 1998,

Arcadia Midcoast of New York, L.L.C.

(Arcadia), 1100 Louisiana, Suite 2950,

Houston, Texas 77002, filed with the

Commission in Docket No. CP98–304–

000 a complaint, pursuant to Rule 206

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure, against CNG

Transmission Corporation (CNGT),

alleging undue discrimination in

violation of the Natural Gas Act,

Commission rules, regulations, orders,

and actions interfering with interstate

commerce.

Arcadia requests that the Commission

issue an order compelling CNGT to

establish an interconnection so that

Arcadia may provide direct natural gas

service to Sabin Metal Corporation

(Sabin) in Scottsville, New York.

Arcadia states that CNGT currently

transports natural gas for Arcadia’s

account to Rochester Gas and Electric

(RG&E), a local distribution company.

RG&E then delivers the gas to Sabin.

Arcadia also states that Sabin estimates

it can save $50,000 annually by

obtaining gas directly from CNGT rather

than via RG&E. Accordingly, Arcadia

further states that Sabin asked Arcadia

to arrange with CNGT to change an

existing receipt tap on CNGT’s system at

Caledonia, New York, to a receipt/

delivery tap so direct deliveries could

be made to Sabin. Sabin would then

construct and own, or have constructed,

a 12,000-foot, 6-inch diameter pipeline

from the CNGT interconnection to

Sabin’s Scottsville metal fabrication

plant. Sabin uses approximately 1,500

Mcf of natural gas per day at the

Scottsville plant.

Arcadia alleges that CNGT by letter

dated January 16, 1998, denied

Arcadia’s request to construct the

proposed interconnection because

CNGT’’ * * * has not offered and is not

proposing to offer customers taps on

CNGT pipeline that bypass its LDC

customers like RG&E.’’ Arcadia further

alleges that CNGT alluded in

subsequent telephone conversations that

the proposed interconnection might

cause CNGT some operational problems,

but the nature of the alleged operational

problems were not clearly identified.

Arcadia alleges that CNGT’s refusal to

provide the interconnection for Sabin,

as requested: (a) is unduly

discriminatory and therefore violates

Section 5 of the NGA; (b) also violates

the Commission’s competition policies

defined in Order Nos. 436 and 636; and,

(c) is not justified by any operational,

environmental, or legal grounds. For

these reasons, Arcadia believes that

CNGT should be compelled to construct

the proposed interconnection.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make a protest with reference to

Arcadia’s complaint should file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

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

20426, a motion to intervene or protest

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.211 or 385.214). All such motions,

together with the answer of Respondent

to the Complaint, should be filed on or

before April 30, 1998. Any person

desiring 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.

[Docket No. CP98–338–000]

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

April 14, 1998.

Take notice that on April 7, 1998,

Florida Gas Transmission Company

(FGT), P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas

77251–1188, filed in Docket No. CP98–

338–000 a request pursuant to Sections

157.205 and 157.212 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.212) for authorization to construct,

own, and operate a new delivery point,

located in Orange County, Florida, to

accommodate deliveries of natural gas

to TECO Peoples Gas Inc. (TECO) under

FGT’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–553–000, 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.

FGT proposes to construct, own, and

operate two taps, electronic flow

measurement (EFM) equipment, and

approximately 100 feet of 4-inch

connecting pipeline to serve TECO

under existing transportation service

agreements at a new PGS-Vineland Rd.

Meter Station located in Orange County,

Florida. FGT states TECO will construct,

own, and operate this new meter station

with FGT constructing the taps, EFM,

and connecting line. FGT declares the

proposed delivery capacity at this point

is up to 12,000 MMBtu per day at line

pressure.

FGT states the estimated cost for the

proposed construction of the two taps,

EFM, and connecting pipe is $147,000,

which will be reimbursed to FGT by

TECO. FGT asserts that the end-use will

be residential, industrial, and

commercial.

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 therefor,

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.

Acting Secretary.
