Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EA

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or become an ‘‘intervenor’’.

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become an intervenor you must

file a Motion to Intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 2).

The date for filing timely motions to

intervene in this proceeding has passed.

Therefore, parties now seeking to file

late interventions must show good

cause, as required by § 385.214(b)(3),

why this time limitation should be

waived. Environmental issues have been

viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Ms.

Mary Hertling, EA Project Manager, at

(202) 208–0874.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.

[Docket No. CP95–498–000, et al.]

Colorado Interstate Gas Company, et

al.; Natural Gas Certificate Filings

May 24, 1995.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Colorado Interstate Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95–498–000]

Take notice that on May 15, 1995,

Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG),

P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs,

Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No.

CP95–498–000 an abbreviated

application pursuant to Section 7(c) of

the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the

Commission’s Regulations for a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity to change the deliverability of

the Flank and Latigo Storage Fields all

as more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Pursuant to Commission orders issued

in Docket No. CP92–154–000, et al., CIG

constructed certain facilities at its Flank

and Latigo Storage Fields designed to

enhance the deliverability from these

two storage fields. CIG estimated that

the additional facilities would increase

the maximum deliverability of each

field to 150 Mmcf per day. After

construction and operation of the

facilities authorized in Docket No.

CP92–154, et al., CIG claims that the

deliverability of Flank and Latigo

Storage Fields is actually 165 Mmcf per

day and 140 Mmcf per day, respectively.

Therefore, CIG requests a change in the

certificated deliverability for these two

storage fields. No new facilities are

required to effect the proposed

deliverability changes.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–P

[Docket No. CP95–500–000, et al.]

Southern Natural Gas Company, et al.;

Natural Gas Certificate Filings

May 23, 1995.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Southern Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95–500–000]

Take notice that on May 15, 1995,

Southern Natural Gas Company

(Southern), Post Office Box 2563,

Birmingham, Alabama 35202–2563,

filed in Docket No. CP95–500–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7(c) of

the Natural Gas Act for a certificate of

public convenience and necessity

authorizing the construction,

installation and operation of certain

compression facilities and related

pipeline interconnection, measurement,

and appurtenant facilities, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Southern states that the proposed

facilities will provide the capacity

needed to perform firm transportation

service on its pipeline system in its

production area south of its Franklinton

Compressor Station. It is stated that

Southern has an extensive supply

system in the offshore Louisiana area

and receives approximately 900,000 Mcf

per day (Mcdf) or nearly 60 percent of

its annual throughput from the ‘‘east

leg’’ of its South Louisiana supply

system that accesses the Main Pass,

Viosca Knoll and Mississippi Canyon

areas. Southern contends that its efforts

to connect new gas supplies in this area

and increase throughput have been

hampered recently as a result of

capacity constraints which exist at

Southern’s Toca Compressor Station. If

it is unable to increase its capacity to

move gas from the offshore areas,

Southern states that the markets and

customers served by Southern’s system

will not have the opportunity to gain

access to the significant number of new

sources of supply announced and under

development in this area.

Southern states that its recent gas

supply attachment efforts have been

focused on supply prospects which are

near Southern’s existing facilities. It is

stated that a large number of such

prospects are located in the offshore

Louisiana are upstream of Southern’s

Toca Compressor Station. Southern

states that its supply system in south

Louisiana has two separate main lines,

the ‘‘east Leg’’ which extends in to the

Main Pass area and the ‘‘west leg’’

which extends from the Franklinton

Compressor Station to the Shadyside

Compressor Station. It is stated that the

‘‘west leg’’ has traditionally received gas

from interconnections with other

interstate pipelines, and supply

prospects in the area are limited.

Therefore, Southern states that its ‘‘east

leg’’ upstream of the Toca Compressor

Station has experienced the most

activity in connecting new gas supplies.

It is stated that gas supply prospects in

this area are believed to be substantial.

Southern states that Exhibit Z to its

application contains a map and a list of

known prospects in the vicinity of

Southern’s existing facilities which

could be attached either through

jurisdictional pipeline extensions or

through nonjurisdictional gathering

lines to Southern’s system. While the

potential of many of these prospects is

still emerging, Southern believes that

the substantial financial expenditures

by producers and technological

advances in the development of

deepwater prospects ensure that the

expansion of Southern’s facilities to

provide access to downstream markets

from this supply area is necessary. It is

stated that the gas supply prospects

listed in Exhibit Z are estimated to

contain over 2 Tcf of reserves which

could be attached to Southern’s system.

Southern also believes that the location

of these prospects make them the most

economical gas supplies available to

Southern’s system in the near term and

foreseeable future. However, in order to

compete with other pipelines for these

shippers and customers, Southern states

that it must expand its existing capacity

at Toca to enable these supplies to flow

into downstream markets.

It is stated that prior to the recent

industry restructuring under Order No.

636, pipelines generally constructed gas

supply facilities and included the cost

of the facilities in future rate filings on

a rolled-in basis. In a post-636

environment, Southern states that the

issue of who should bear the financial

responsibility for this type of project is

more complicated. It is stated that this

expansion project is not a traditional
