[Docket No. CP95–143–000, et al.]

Southern Natural Gas Co., et al.;

Natural Gas Certificate Filings

January 11, 1995.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Southern Natural Gas Co.

[Docket No. CP95–143–000]

Take notice that on January 4, 1995,

Southern Natural Gas Company

(Southern), Post Office Box 2563,

Birmingham, Alabama 35202–2563,

filed in Docket No. CP95–143–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7 (b)

and (c) of the Natural Gas Act for

permission and approval to abandon

approximately 3.0 miles of its existing

4-inch Graniteville Line along with its

existing Graniteville Meter Station and

submeasurement station and for a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity authorizing the construction

and operation of approximately 3.5

miles of a new 8-inch Graniteville Line

replacement pipeline with a new

regulator station and a new meter

station located in Aiken County, South

Carolina in order to provide additional

firm transportation service to

Graniteville Company (Graniteville), an

existing industrial customer, at its plant

located in Graniteville, South Carolina,

all as more fully set forth in the

application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Southern proposes to replace its

existing 4-inch Graniteville Line with a

new 8-inch Graniteville Line extending

approximately 3.5 miles northwesterly

from approximately Mile Post 501 on

Southern’s South Main Lines in Aiken

County, South Carolina to a new dual 4-

inch meter station at Graniteville’s

plant. Southern also proposes to install

a new regulator station at approximately

milepost 2.6 on the new 8-inch

Graniteville Line. Southern states that

the new 8-inch Graniteville Line would

follow the existing 4-inch pipeline for

approximately 0.9 miles, but would

traverse a separate route for

approximately 2.6 miles in order to

avoid congested areas.

Southern proposes to abandon, in

place, approximately 3.0 miles of its

approximately 3.5 miles existing 4-inch

Graniteville Line. Southern states that

approximately 0.5 miles of the 4-inch

pipeline between mileposts 2.810 and

2.317 would remain in service to

continue to serve Southern’s three

existing customers off taps located on

this portion of pipeline which would be

tied into the new 8-inch Graniteville

Line. Also, Southern proposes to

abandon its existing Graniteville meter

station which would be replaced by the

new duel 4-inch meter station at the

plant and to abandon the

submeasurement station located at the

plant by transfer of ownership to

Graniteville for use by Graniteville in its

plant operations.

Southern estimates the cost of these

facilities to be $2,168,200 which would

be financed through the use of short

term financing and available cash from

operations and ultimately from

permanent financing.

Southern proposes to construct the

facilities to deliver an additional 3,625

Mcf of natural gas per day on a firm

basis to Graniteville. Southern states

that it provides firm transportation

service to Graniteville pursuant to an

existing service agreement between

Southern and Texican Natural Gas

Company (Texican), a marketer, dated

August 21, 1992. Southern states that

Southern and Texican have entered into

a service agreement dated September 23,

1994, to provide an additional firm

transportation service of 3,625 Mcf of

natural gas per day for Graniteville for

a ten year term under Rate Schedule FT

subject to the authorization to install the

replacement facilities requested herein.

Comment date: February 1, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.

[Docket No. CP95–144–000]

Take notice that on January 4, 1995,

as supplemented on January 9, 1995,

NorAm Gas Transmission Company

(NGT), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport,

Louisiana 71151, filed in Docket No.

CP95–144–000, a request pursuant to

Sections 157.216, 157.205, and 157.211

of the Commission’s Regulations under

the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.216,

157.205, and 157.211) for authorization

to replace and upgrade existing

metering facilities in Hempstead

County, Arkansas under its blanket
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 1995 / Notices 3857

certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82–

384–000 and CP82–384–001, pursuant

to Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

NGT specifically proposes to replace

and upgrade existing metering facilities

currently serving ARKLA, a distribution

division of NorAm Energy Corporation

(ARKLA). NGT says it will replace one

11⁄4-inch AL–425 positive meter and one 1⁄8-inch regulator orifice and install one

11⁄4-inch AL–800 positive meter and one 3⁄16-inch regulator orifice and recorder

on NGT’s Line A, Section 29, Township

13 South, Range 24 West, Hempstead

County, Arkansas for service to

ARKLA’s existing Rural Extension No.

745, serving both commercial and

domestic customers. NGT states the

location of the facilities to be abandoned

is the same location as the facilities to

be installed. NGT explains ARKLA has

requested larger measurement facilities

to accommodate the addition of

commercial operations.

NGT maintains the cost of the

metering facilities to be abandoned is

$600.00, and the cost of the facilities to

be constructed is estimated to be

$3,163.00. NGT says ARKLA will

reimburse NGT for all construction

costs. NGT states the estimated volumes

to be delivered through these facilities

are approximately 5,600 MMBtu

annually and 50 MMBtu on a peak day.

NGT states that it will transport gas to

ARKLA and provide service under its

Order No. 636 restructured rate

scheduled, that the volumes delivered

will be within ARKLA’s certificated

entitlement, and that its tariff does not

prohibit the addition of new delivery

points. NGT asserts that it has sufficient

capacity to accomplish the deliveries

without detriment or disadvantage to its

other customers.

accordance with Standard Paragraph G

at the end of this notice.
