filed in Docket No. CP95–132–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

an undivided 11.11 percent of

Northwest’s interest in the Shute Creek

pipeline in Wyoming; all as more fully

set forth in the request that is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Northwest states that, presently, both

the 17.5 mile, 20-inch Shute Creek

Station are owned jointly by Northwest

(75%) and ANR Pipeline Company

(ANR) (25%). CIG has agreed to acquire

11.11% of Northwest’s interest and all

Northwest’s sale to CIG will be at

Northwest’s net book value as of the

closing date. As of October 31, 1994 the

an undivided one-third interest in the

Shute Creek pipeline and both CIG and

Northwest will have the right to use up

to the entire capacity of the Shute Creek

pipeline (initially approximately 260

MMcf per day) under the terms of the

Shute Creek Hub Ownership

Agreement. CIG will construct and

operate a new meter station under its

Part 157 blanket certificate to receive

3. Southern Natural Gas Co.

[Docket No. CP95–134–000]

Take notice that on December 23,

1994, Southern Natural Gas Company

(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham,

Alabama 35202–2563, filed in Docket

No. CP95–134–000 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

and operate a delivery point for service

to Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco),

under Southern’s blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–406–000

pursuant to Section 7 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.

Southern proposes to construct and

operate a delivery point, including

measurement and appurtenant facilities,

to provide transportation service to

Alagasco who will then provide natural

gas service to a Briggs and Stratton

Company manufacturing plant and

other commercial and residential

customers in Lee County, Alabama.

Southern states that the facilities will be

located at or near Mile Post 164.4 on its

10-inch Montgomery-Columbus Line.

The estimated project cost is $168,700.

Accordingly, Southern will transport

gas for Alagasco under its existing

Service Agreements to Southern’s FT

and IT Rate Schedules. Alagasco intends

to assign a Maximum Daily Delivery

Quantity of 2,000 Mcf per day for the

new delivery point. To allow for this

new assignment, Alagasco will reduce

its Maximum Daily Delivery Quantity at

its Montgomery Area delivery point by

2,000 Mcf per day. The additional

delivery point won’t require Alagasco to

add more transportation demand to its

firm service. Southern has stated that

the installation of the proposed facilities

will have no adverse effect on its ability

to provide its firm deliveries.

Comment date: February 24, 1995, in

4. Ozark Gas Transmission System

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for

permission and approval to abandon

three lateral compressors and related

facilities, located at Ozark’s Stephens

McBride Compressor Station in

Sebastian County, Arkansas, all as more

public inspection.

Ozark is proposing to abandon three

of the four compressor units at its

Stephens McBride Compressor Station,

specifically Units No. 34014, 34016, and

34017, because there has been a

significant drop in volumes at the

Stephen McBride Compressor Station.

Ozark will continue to provide service

at this station by retaining one existing

unit, which has exhibited the capacity
3856 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 1995 / Notices

experienced at that station for the past

twelve months. Ozark was authorized in

to construct and operate the Stephens

McBride Compressor Station. Ozark

further states that it proposes to

reclassify the facilities proposed to be

abandoned herein, for future use.

[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.
