DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-311-000, et al.]


East Tennessee Natural Gas Company, et al.; Natural Gas 
Certificate Filings

April 18, 1995.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. East Tennessee Natural Gas Co.

[Docket No. CP95-311-000]

    Take notice that on April 7, 1995, East Tennessee Natural Gas 
Company (East Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-311-000 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 modify an existing meter 
station in Roane County, Tennessee under East Tennessee's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-412-000 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.
    East Tennessee proposes to replace an obsolete 6-inch orifice meter 
tube with a 4-inch tube at the existing Harriman meter station, #75-
9032, at M.P. 3110-1+8.40 (S.V. 3110B-101) on the 3100-1 Line. This 
tube replacement will allow the meter station to better match actual 
volumes being delivered. The installation will not be extensive and 
will cause minimal disturbance since the replacement tube dimensionally 
fits the existing piping arrangement. Total capacity at the meter 
station will be approximately equivalent to current levels due to the 
reduced operating condition of the existing 6-inch tube. The meter 
station will still be owned, operated and maintained by East Tennessee. 
The estimated cost is $39,100 to be funded from the appropriate 
division's minor capital budget. The firm service customer at the meter 
station is the City of Harriman, a municipal utility company that 
supplies residential customers. The tube replacement won't affect any 
shipper's contract entitlement.
    After modification, East Tennessee states there won't be an 
increase in the delivery quantity under the firm agreement between it 
and the City of Harriman; delivery of volumes through the meter station 
won't impact peak day and annual deliveries; the proposed activity 
isn't prohibited by its existing tariff, and there is sufficient 
capacity for deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other 
customers.
    Comment date: June 2, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
at the end of this notice.

2. Florida Gas Transmission Co.

[Docket No. CP95-316-000]

    Take notice that on April 11, 1995, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP95-316-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 
and 157.216) for permission and approval to abandon a small portion of 
an existing lateral line. FGT makes such request, under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 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.
    FGT is proposing to abandon approximately 6,500 feet of its 6-inch 
East Mustang Island Lateral, at an estimated cost of $117,476. 
Specifically, FGT is proposing to abandon a 6,400 foot segment of line 
in place, 4,500 foot of which is owned by a development corporation, 
and 1,900 foot of which is located under a road and the adjacent right-
of-way; the remaining 100 foot segment which crosses a small boat 
channel will be removed. It is stated that the portion of line that FGT 
is proposing to abandon is located in the areas of East Mustang Island 
and Laguna Madre, Nueces County, Texas. FGT states that the abandonment 
is necessary due to the encroachment of a residential housing 
development. FGT further states that it is proposing to abandon that 
segment of line rather than relocating it, because the relocation of 
that segment of line would be costly and would disturb an 
environmentally sensitive area.
    FGT also states that service to its two customers located 
downstream of the proposed abandonment, Gulfside Industries, Ltd. and 
Valero Industrial [[Page 20490]] Gas, will continue under FGT's SFTS 
Rate Schedule and ITS-1 Rate Schedule, respectively, because FGT has 
constructed, upstream from the proposed abandonment, a new receipt 
point under the automatic authorization of Section 157.208(a) pursuant 
to FGT's blanket certificate authorized in Docket No. CP82-553-000.
    Comment date: June 2, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
at the end of this notice.

3. Columbia Gas Transmission

[Docket No. CP95-321-000]

    Take notice that on April 12, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314-1599 and Columbia Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia 
Gulf), of the same address, filed in Docket No. CP95-321-000 a joint 
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for 
permission and approval to abandon certain transportation services for 
Brooklyn Union Gas Company (Brooklyn Union) which were authorized in 
Docket No. CP83-331-000, all as more fully set forth in the application 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Columbia and Columbia Gulf propose to abandon transportation 
services under Rate Schedules X-117 and X-90, respectively for the 
account of Brooklyn Union. Columbia received, on an interruptible 
basis, up to 10,000 Dth of natural gas per day in Barbour, Randolph and 
Tucker Counties, West Virginia and made it available to Columbia Gulf 
for redelivery to Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in 
Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana for the account of Brooklyn Union. 
Columbia and Columbia Gulf state that the transportation agreement has 
been terminated and no volumes have flowed since November, 1984.
    Comment date: May 9, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph F 
at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
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 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the 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 and/or permission and approval 
for the proposed abandonment are 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 a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
    G. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
 Lois D. Cashell,
 Secretary.
