[Docket No. CP95–112–001, et al.]

Transwestern Gathering Company, et

al.; Natural Gas Certificate Filings

May 9, 1995.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Transwestern Gathering Company

[Docket No. CP95–112–001]

Take notice that on December 5, 1994,

Transwestern Gathering Company

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

77251–1188, filed in Docket No. CP95–

112–001 an amendment (Amendment)

to its original petition for an order

declaring that upon the completion of

the acquisition by TGC of certain

gathering and processing facilities from

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern), such facilities will be

exempt from the Commission’s

jurisdiction.

It is stated that in response to a June

7, 1994, data request from the

Commission in the refunctionalization

proceeding in Docket No. CP94–254–

000, Transwestern conducted an indepth review and analysis of each

facility in its entire system, resulting in

a different functionalization of the

facilities from that originally filed. It is

stated that the response was filed

September 6, 1994.

On October 3, 1994, Transwestern

supplemented its data response by

making some substantial, but mostly

miscellaneous corrections and revisions

to the refunctionalization of facilities. It

is stated that on November 14, 1994,

Transwestern again supplemented its

data response with a summary on its

proposed adjustments to plant and

depreciation resulting from the

refunctionalization proposed in the data

response.

Also on November 14, 1994,

Transwestern filed an application in

Docket No. CP95–70–000 proposing to

spindown certain compression, plants,

metering, dehydration and pipeline

facilities, along with certain agreements

and services, by transfer to TGC.

Essentially, Transwestern proposed to

spindown to TGC all of its facilities

functionalized as gathering in the

refunctionalization proceeding.

On December 5, 1994, TGC filed its

Petition for Declaratory Order in Docket

No. CP95–112–000 seeking the

Commission to declare that upon

completion of the acquisition by TGC of

the facilities being spun down from

Transwestern, such facilities and the

services provided through them would

be exempt from Commission

jurisdiction.

It is stated that concurrently,

Transwestern has filed an amendment

to its application in Docket No. CP95–

70–000 to spindown certain facilities.

Because the facilities addressed in

Transwestern’s amendment are the same

facilities which will be transferred to

TGC by Transwestern, TGC proposes to

incorporate by reference the exhibits to

Transwestern’s amendment, and

requests the same revisions and

corrections be made in the instant

docket.

Comment date: May 30, 1995, in

accordance with the first paragraph of

Standard Paragraph F at the end of this

notice.
