Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP95–327–000]

Transwestern Pipeline Co.; Notice of

Application

April 21, 1995.

Take notice that on April 17, 1995,

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern), 1400 Smith Street,

Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket

No. CP95–327–000, an application

pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act and § 157.7(a) of the

Regulations (18 CFR 157.7(a)), for a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity authorizing Transwestern to

construct approximately 3,200 feet of

30-inch pipeline under the Rio Grande

River in Valencia County, New Mexico,

all as more fully set forth in the request

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Transwestern explains that on August

20, 1994, an explosion ruptured one of

its two 30-inch pipelines which cross

the Rio Grande River on a steel structure

pipeline bridge. Transwestern says it

replaced that pipeline and repaired the

structural damage to the bridge under

section 2.55(b) of the Commission’s

Regulations. The second pipeline was

not replaced at that time.

Transwestern proposes to replace the

second 30-inch pipeline by constructing

3,200 feet of 30-inch pipeline under the

Rio Grande River at a cost of $1,675,000.

Transwestern states that it will be

reimbursed the cost by its insurance

carrier. Transwestern asserts that with

the addition of this second line it will

be able to bring its pipeline capability

up to its presently certificated capacity.

Transwestern requests certificate

authorization by June 30, 1995, so that

construction can take place between

July 15 through September 30 and the

facility can be put in service in 1995.

Transwestern submits that this

construction time period would have

minimal effect on such things as the

Silvery Minnow, because of the low

water flow, and would avoid disturbing

two whooping cranes who overwinter in

the area.
20680 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 1995 / Notices

Any person desiring to be heard or to

application should on or before May 12,

1995, 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

385.214 and 385.211) and the

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

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 for the proposal 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 formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Transwestern to appear

Kern River Gas Transmission Co.;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

April 21, 1995.

Take notice that on April 17, 1995,

Kern River Gas Transmission Company

(Kern River) tendered for filing as part

of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised

Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets

to become effective on June 1, 1995:

First Revised Sheet No. 104

Second Revised Sheet No. 114

First Revised Sheet No. 115

First Revised Sheet No. 121

First Revised Sheet No. 122

First Revised Sheet No. 415

Kern River states that the revised tariff

sheets make certain minor changes to

Kern River’s capacity release program

which will allow that program to

operate more efficiently and increase its

value and usefulness to shippers.

Specifically, the revised tariff sheets

will:

1. Shorten the minimum time periods

for a release that involves a Prearranged

Bidder, to permit such a release request

to be initiated closer to the proposed

commencement date of the release;

2. Define release proposals that may

take advantage of shorter deadlines and

processing periods as releases of ‘‘three

months or less,’’ rather than the current

definition of ‘‘90 days or less,’’ so that

proposed releases that include months

of 31 days can take advantage of the

shorter deadlines and time periods;

3. Eliminate the requirement for the

Releasing Shipper with a Prearranged

Bidder to warrant that the Prearranged

Bidder has entered into a Released

Transportation Service Agreement with

Kern river that incorporates all terms

and conditions of the Release Request.

Prearranged Bidders will still be

required to prequalify with Kern River

by entering into a Released

Transportation Service Agreement after

demonstrating sufficient

creditworthiness.

Kern River states that the revised tariff

sheets also update the telephone

number of Kern River’s Transportation

Services Department.

Kern River states that copies of the

filing were served upon Kern River Gas

Transmission Company’s jurisdictional

customers all affected 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, 825

North Capitol Street, NE., Washington,

D.C. 20426, in accordance with 18 CFR

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests should be

filed on or before April 28, 1995.

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

with the Commission and are available

for public inspection in the Public

Reference Room.
