Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP95–220–000, et al.]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., et al.;

Natural Gas Certificate Filings

March 1, 1995.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

[Docket No. CP95–220–000]

Take notice that on February 23, 1995,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston,

Texas 77252, filed in Docket No. CP95–

220–000 a request pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Commission’s

Regulations to construct and operate a

new delivery point located on a

platform in state waters, Timbalier Bay,

LaFourche Parish, Louisiana (Cailliou

Island Platform), to supply natural gas

to Union Oil Company of California

(Unocal) for gas-lift purposes under

Tennessee’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–413–000, pursuant to

Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as

more fully set forth in the request on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Tennessee proposes to install on

Tennessee’s existing right-of-way a 2-

inch side valve assembly between an

existing 6-inch block valve and check

valve and inspect Unocal’s installation

of the interconnecting piping and buyback meter on the Cailliou Island

Platform. Tennessee states that

Tennessee would install, own, operate

and maintain the tie-in assembly and

would operate the measurement facility.

Unocal would install, own, operate and

maintain the interconnect piping and

install, own and maintain the

measurement facility, it is indicated.

Tennessee states that the estimated cost

to install these facilities is $7,700, for

which Tennessee would be reimbursed

by Unocal. Tennessee states that the

volumes to be delivered to Unocal after

the delivery point is established would

not exceed the total quantities

authorized to be delivered and would

have no impact on Tennessee’s peak day

and annual deliveries. National states

that the addition of the new delivery

point is not prohibited by Tennessee’s

existing tariff and Tennessee has

sufficient capacity to accomplish

deliveries at the new delivery point

without detriment or disadvantage to

Tennessee’s other customers.

Comment date: April 17, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph G

at the end of this notice.

2. Colorado Interstate Gas Co.

[Docket No. CP95–226–000]

Take notice that on February 24, 1995,

Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG),

P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs,

Colorado 80944 filed, in Docket No.

CP95–226–000, an application pursuant

to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

and Part 157 of the Commission’s

Regulations for permission and approval

to abandon one 149-horsepower

compressor engine at the Left Hand

Field No. 2 Compressor Station (Left

Hand Field), located in Kiowa County

Colorado, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

CIG states that the 149-horsepower

compressor unit installed at Left Hand

Field in 1979 is a single stage unit and

low suction pressure is causing

excessive vibration. CIG notes that the

compressor is utilized to compress

natural gas supplies from the Cavalry

and Buscadero Fields to CIG’s 20-inch

transmission line. CIG indicates that the

unit proposed to be abandoned will be

replaced by a two-stage 123-horsepower

unit to be installed at the existing site

pursuant to the provisions and authority

of CIG’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP83–21–000.

CIG asserts that the removal and

replacement of the compressor unit will

not affect the existing land use nor affect

CIG’s system design capacity or

operation.

Comment date: March 22, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.

3. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp.

[Docket No. CP95–227–000]

Take notice that on February 24, 1995,

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396,

Houston, Texas 77251, filed in Docket

No. CP95–227–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act for permission and approval to

abandon the sales service provided to its

customers under Rate Schedule FS-G, to

be effective November 1, 1994, which

was authorized in Docket No. RS92–86–

000 et al., all as more fully set forth in

the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Transco states that on March 3, 1993,

it filed a revised Order No. 636

compliance filing in Docket Nos. RS92–

86, RP92–137 and RP92–108 in which it

proposed to eliminate bundled sales

service to small customers under Rate

Schedules G and OG and to replace that

bundled service with (1) an unbundled

firm transportation service under new

Rate Schedule FT-G and (2) for those

customers that elected FT-G service, an

optional sales service under new Rate

Schedule FS-G, to be available for a oneyear period. Transco states that this

service was approved for a period of one

year by Commission order issued on

October 4, 1993, in Docket Nos. RS92–

86–000 et al. implementing Rate

Schedule FS-G to become effective

November 1, 1993. Transco further

states that in compliance with the

revised compliance filing, each Rate

Schedule G or OG customer that elected

Rate Schedule FS-G service had the

option ninety days prior to the end of

the one-year period to submit to Transco

a one-time nomination specifying the

portion, if any, of Rate Schedule FS-G

sales service to be converted to Rate

Schedule FS. Transco states that by

August 1, 1994, ninety days prior to the

termination date, no FS-G customer had

elected to convert any of its FS-G

entitlements to service under Rate

Schedule FS, and that by letter dated

September 6, 1994, Transco requested

that each FS-G customer submit an

election form confirming that they

declined to convert all or part of their

FS-G sales entitlement to transportation
12752 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 8, 1995 / Notices

service under Rate Schedule FS.

Transco states that eight out of ten

customers declined to convert their

service and the remaining two

customers verbally confirmed their

election not to convert.

Transco states that even though it

believes it to be clear that the

Commission contemplated that the oneyear cost-based sales service to small

customers, as embodied in Transco’s

Rate Schedule FS-G, would terminate

automatically, Section 6 of Rate

Schedule FS-G, as approved by the

Commission, states that ‘‘* * * [s]ervice

under this Rate Schedule is subject to

the abandonment requirements of

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act.’’

Accordingly, Transco requests

authorization to abandon all service

under its Rate Schedule FS-G and

requests that such abandonment be

made effective November 1, 1994.

Transco states that the subject

application is the result of and

consistent with Article II of Transco’s

Rate Schedule FS-G service agreements

and with the provisions of Order No.

636, both of which clearly viewed

service under Rate Schedule FS-G to be

interim service available only for a

period of one year.

Comment date: March 22, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.

4. Mississippi River Transmission Corp.

[Docket No. CP95–228–000]

Take notice that on February 27, 1995,

Mississippi River Transmission

Corporation (MRT), 9900 Clayton Road,

St. Louis, Missouri 63124, filed in

Docket No. CP95–228–000 an

application pursuant to Sections 7(c)

and 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to

construct and abandon facilities

necessary to modernize and improve the

reliability of its Main Line System, all

as more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

MRT states because of safety, system

reliability and increasing operating cost

concerns, MRT is proposing to

implement the first portion of a 16-year

system modernization program. MRT

proposes in the first phase of the

program to add compression at its

Biggers and Tuckerman Compressor

Stations, retire certain compressor

engines at these compressor stations,

and retire approximately 93 miles of its

Main Line No. 1. It is indicated that, as

a consequence of these additions and

abandonments, MRT would also need to

reconfigure the station piping at its

Biggers, Tuckerman and Diaz

Compressor Stations, and relocate

interconnections serving 13 delivery

points to other main line facilities.

MRT estimates construction costs

during 1995 of $6.7 million and during

1996 of $7.2 million, to be financed

with internally generated funds. MRT

states that the proposed construction

and abandonment would not affect the

capacity of its Main Line System and

would not affect service to any existing

customer.

Comment date: March 22, 1995, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.
