Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP95–486–000, et al.]

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America, et al.; Natural Gas Certificate

Filings

May 10, 1995.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America

[Docket No. CP95–486–000]

Take notice that on May 5, 1995,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street,

Lombard, Illinois, 60148, filed in Docket
26432 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 17, 1995 / Notices

No. CP95–486–000 an abbreviated

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and

Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission’s

(Commission) Regulations thereunder,

for permission to abandon an offshore

lateral by sale to Stingray Pipeline

Company (Stingray), an affiliate, all as

more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Natural indicates that in 1975, it

constructed 9.57 miles of sixteen-inch

pipeline, one dual eight-inch meter, a

sixteen-inch platform riser and

appurtenant platform facilities that

extend from a production platform

owned by Kerr-McGee Corporation (Kerr

McGee) in West Cameron Block 543,

offshore Louisiana, (WC 543), to a

subsea interconnection with Stingray in

West Cameron Block 565, offshore

Louisiana (WC 543 Lateral). Natural

states that it constructed these facilities

to provide for the receipt of gas that

Natural purchased from Kerr McGee in

WC 543. It is indicated that Natural also

transported and exchanged gas through

these facilities for Columbia Gas

Transmission Corporation (Columbia),

Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), and Texas Eastern

Transmission Corporation (Texas

Eastern).

Natural states that in 1991, Kerr

McGee informed it that production from

WC 543 had ceased and that Kerr

McGee was going to abandon its

platform. Natural indicates that at Kerr

McGee’s request Natural then

disconnected and abandoned, pursuant

to its blanket authority received in

Docket No. CP82–402, 2.27 miles of its

9.57 miles of sixteen-inch lateral from

Kerr McGee’s platform, leaving 7.3

miles of lateral in service which allowed

Natural to continue to provide 1) for the

transportation and exchange of Texas

Eastern’s gas produced in West Cameron

Block 522, and 2) for the interruptible

transportation service, under Part 284 of

the Commission’s Regulations, for

various shippers of gas produced in

West Cameron Blocks 518 and 522.

Natural avers that it no longer has any

gas purchase obligations on the WC 543

Lateral. It is indicated that on April 28,

1995 Natural and Texas Eastern filed a

joint application in Docket No. CP95–

373–000 to abandon the remaining

exchange obligation on the WC 543

Lateral. It is further indicated that the

last gas flow activity under interruptible

gas transportation agreements occurred

in January, 1994.

Natural states that its system will

benefit from the sale of the lateral by the

elimination of the responsibility and

costs of operation, maintenance, and

ownership of a facility that Natural no

longer needs. Natural indicates that

Stingray has offered to pay $250,000 for

the WC 543 Lateral and that Stingray

will acquire the lateral under its blanket

certificate authorization in Docket No.

CP91–1505 and pursuant to Section

157.208(a) of the Commission’s

Regulations.

Natural further indicates that PETSEC

Energy, Inc. (PETSEC), an offshore

producer, has purchased from Natural

the 2.27 miles of sixteen-inch lateral

located in WC 543 that Natural

previously retired in 1991. Natural avers

that PETSEC intends to construct a

lateral that will extend from its

production platform in West Cameron

Block 544 (WC 544) to the existing 2.27

miles of sixteen-inch pipeline in WC

543. Natural states that PETSEC and

Stingray have entered into an agreement

whereby the gas produced by PETSEC

in WC 544 will be delivered to Stingray

in WC 543 and transported through the

sixteen-inch lateral proposed herein to

be abandoned and sold to Stingray, and

the transported onshore.

Comment date: May 31, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.

2. Northwest Pipeline Corp.

[Docket No. CP95–487–000]

Take notice that on May 8, 1995,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84108–0900, filed in Docket

No. CP95–487–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216

of the Commission’s Regulations under

the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.211, and 157.216) for authorization

to replace regulating facilities at its

Pinehurst Meter Station in Shoshone

County, Idaho used to provide firm

transportation service for The

Washington Water Power Company

(Water Power), under the blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

433–000, 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.

Northwest proposes to replace two

obsolete 1-inch regulators and

appurtenances at the Pinehurst Meter

Station with two new 1-inch regulators

with 35 percent trim, with

appurtenances. Northwest states that the

existing regulators will be scrapped.

Northwest indicates that the facility

replacement will better accommodate

existing firm maximum daily delivery

obligations at this delivery point to

Water Power. Northwest estimates a

construction cost of $28,000 and a

removal cost of $1,000.

Northwest advises that the total

volumes to be delivered to the customer

after the request do not exceed the total

volumes authorized prior to the request.

Also, Northwest indicates that the

proposed facility modification is not

prohibited by its existing tariff.

Power Administration, P.O. Box 6457,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By

Amendment No. 3 to Delegation Order

No. 0204–108, published November 10,

1993 (58 FR 59716), the Secretary of

Energy delegated (1) the authority to

develop long term power and

transmission rates on a nonexclusive

basis to the Administrator of Western;

(2) the authority to confirm, approve,

and place such rates in effect on an

interim basis to the Deputy Secretary;

and (3) the authority to confirm,

approve, and place into effect on a final

basis, to remand, or to disapprove such

rates to the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC). Existing

Department Of Energy (DOE) procedures

for public participation in rate

adjustments (10 CFR Part 903) became

effective on September 18, 1985 (50 FR

37837). Pursuant to Delegation Order

No. 0204–108, FERC, in the order issued

March 24, 1994, in Docket No. EF93–

5191–000, confirmed and approved Rate

Schedules INT–FT1 and INT–NFT1 for

firm and nonfirm transmission service

by the AC Intertie administered by

Western’s Phoenix Area Office (66 FERC

¶ 62,180). The existing step one rate was

approved for the period August 1, 1993,

through September 30, 1995. The

existing step two rate was approved for

the period October 1, 1995, through July

31, 1998.

The existing step two rates were to be

automatically implemented on October

1, 1995. However, Western will not

implement the existing step two rates at

this time. A Stipulation Agreement was

executed by Western and the customers

and filed with FERC on December 28,

1993, agreeing to re-examine the issues

from the last rate adjustment. In

addition to re-examining these issues,

Western is also investigating different

rate design alternatives since two new

transmission line segments will be

energized on January 1, 1996. Western

needs additional time for resolution of

these issues along with current

customer issues. Therefore, Western

proposes to extend the existing step one

AC Intertie transmission service rates

until October 1, 1996. During this time,

Western will be holding a series of

public meetings with the AC Intertie

customers.

The purpose of Rate Order No.

WAPA–69 is to extend Rate Schedules

INT–FT1 and INT–NFT1 until October

1, 1996, to allow time for the

coordination and resolution of these

issues and other rate adjustment

processes.
