[Docket No. CP95-285-000]


Paiute Pipeline Co.; Notice of Application

April 5, 1995.
    Take notice that on March 27, 1995, Paiute Pipeline Company 
(Paiute), P.O. Box 94197, Las Vegas, Nevada 89193-4197, filed in Docket 
No. CP95-285-000 an application pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR Part 157) for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity authorizing Paiute to construct and operate two compressor 
stations on its Elko Lateral, in order to increase its capacity by 
1,496 Dth/d to provide additional delivery point flexibility to 
Southwest Gas Corporation-Northern Nevada (Southwest-Northern Nevada), 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Paiute proposes to:
    (1) Install a 1,339 H.P. turbine driven compressor at milepost 
61.45 on the Elko Lateral in Lander County, Nevada; and
    (2) Relocate the existing 360 H.P. reciprocating compressor 
presently located at milepost 137.2 on the Elko Lateral to milepost 
110.1 in Eureka County, Nevada.
    Paiute states that the estimated cost of the proposed facilities is 
$4,119,500. Paiute intends to finance the cost of construction through 
ongoing regular financing programs and internally generated funds.
    Paiute states that it has entered into a transportation service 
agreement with Southwest-Northern Nevada under which it would increase 
its billing determinants for such shipper by 1,496 Dth/d under Paiute's 
Rate Schedule FT-1. Paiute proposes that the rates for the additional 
service to be provided to Southwest-Northern Nevada by means of the 
proposed facilities be designed using an incremental facilities 
surcharge in Rate Schedule FT-1 applicable to Southwest-Northern 
Nevada, under which the cost and revenues related to the construction 
of the additional compression facilities on the Elko Lateral will be 
considered on an incremental cost basis.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before April 26, 1995, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 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) 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 protestants 
parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party to a 
proceeding or 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 is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, which requires a formal hearing, 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 Paiute to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
