[Docket No. CP95-251-000]

Pacific Interstate Transmission Company; Notice of Application

March 27, 1995.
    Take notice that on March 8, 1995, Pacific Interstate Transmission 
Company (PITCO), 633 West Fifth Street, Suite 5400, Los Angeles, 
California, 90071-2071, filed in Docket No. CP95-251-000, an 
application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for 
authorization to establish an additional delivery point at Blanco, New 
Mexico for the sale of gas to PITCO's sole customer, Southern 
California Gas Company (SoCalGas), all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open for public 
inspection.
    Specifically, PITCO intends to establish an additional sale and 
delivery point at Blanco, New Mexico for the sale of Canadian gas to 
SoCalGas. PITCO states that the additional sale and delivery point is 
necessary because of El Paso Natural Gas Company's (El Paso) increasing 
inability to receive all of PITCO's natural gas supplies on a firm 
basis at the existing El Paso receipt point from Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest) at Ignacio, Colorado. PITCO says the additional 
sale and delivery point will provide SoCalGas with greater flexibility 
concerning its purchases, and will eliminate unnecessary alternative 
transportation costs and construction of unnecessary pipeline 
additions.
    PITCO states that the addition of new sale and delivery points is 
specifically provided by the General Terms and Conditions of PITCO's 
FERC Gas Tariff.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 17, 1995, 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 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 is 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 PITCO to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
