[Docket No. CP96–325–000]

Take notice that on April 16, 1996,

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation, 5400 Westheimer Court,

Houston, Texas 77056–5310 (Texas

Eastern) filed, in Docket No. CP96–325–

000, an application pursuant to Section

7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157

of the Commission’s Regulations for an

order authorizing abandonment of its

transportation service with CNG

Transmission Corporation (CNG) known

as Rate Schedule X–93, all as more fully

set forth in the application which is on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Texas Eastern states that it received

authorization in Docket No. CP79–85–

000 to receive up to 20,000 Dth/d of

natural gas from CNG, by displacement,

at Texas Eastern’s M&R Station No. 037

located in Greene County, Pennsylvania

or at Texas Eastern’s M&R Station No.

082 located in Westmoreland County,

Pennsylvania and the transportation and

redelivery of such quantities to

Equitrans, for CNG’s account, at Texas

Eastern’s M&R Station No. 009 located

in Greene County, Pennsylvania or at

Texas Eastern’s M&R Station No. 355

located in Westmoreland County,

Pennsylvania. Texas Eastern explains

that the agreement provided for a

primary term commencing upon the

date of initial delivery and terminating

three years from such date, and from

year to year thereafter until terminated

by prior written notice of not less than

sixty days.

CNG and Equitrans have filed a joint

companion abandonment application in

Docket No. CP96–328–000 requesting

authorization to abandon their Rate

Schedules X–24 and X–7, respectively.

These rate schedules set forth the

exchange agreement between CNG and

Equitrans in which Equitrans would

deliver up to 20,000 Dth/d to CNG. CNG

would receive the gas from Equitrans for

processing and redeliver to Texas

Eastern. CNG and Equitrans notified

Texas Eastern that they had executed an

interruptible transportation agreement

which negated the need for the

certificated exchange service.

Texas Eastern and CNG have agreed to

abandon the transportation service

pursuant to Texas Eastern’s letter

agreement dated December 18, 1995,

and have mutually agreed that the

appropriate date for termination of the

transportation service for CNG under

the terms of Texas Eastern’s Rate

Schedule X–93 is March 15, 1992.

Comment date: May 14, 1996, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.

3. CNG Transmission Corporation

Equitrans, L.P.

[Docket No. CP96–328–000]

Take notice that on April 16, 1996,

CNG Transmission Corporation, 445

West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301 (CNG), and Equitrans,

L.P., 3120 Park Lane, Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania 15275–1102 (Equitrans)

filed, in Docket No. CP96–328–000, a

joint application pursuant to Section

7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157

of the Commission’s Regulations for an

order authorizing abandonment of the

exchange service knows as CNG’s Rate

Schedule X–24, and as Equitrans’ Rate

Schedule X–7, all as more fully set forth

in the application which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

CNG and Equitrans state that they

received authorization in Docket No.

CP79–26–000 for CNG to receive up to

20,000 Mcf/d of natural gas from

Equitrans at CNG’s Hastings Processing

Plant located in Wetzel County, West
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 84 / Tuesday, April 30, 1996 / Notices 19059

Virginia. CNG then redelivered such

quantities to Texas Eastern

Transmission Corporation (Texas

Eastern-Rate Schedule X–93) for

Equitrans’ account at Texas Eastern’s

M&R Station No. 009 located in Greene

County, Pennsylvania or at Texas

Eastern’s M&R Station No. 355 located

in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

CNG and Equitrans explain that the

agreement provided for a primary term

commencing upon the date of initial

delivery and terminating five years from

such date, and from year to year

thereafter until terminated by prior

written notice of not less than twelve

months.

CNG and Equitrans state that

subsequently the exchange agreement

was amended, terminated and replaced

with a limited-term transportation

agreement between CNG and Equitrans

dated January 1, 1989. CNG and

Equitrans explain that this

transportation agreement negated the

need for the certificated exchange

service and further eliminated the need

for Texas Eastern to receive the

exchange gas from CNG and redeliver it

for Equitrans’ account. Texas Eastern

and CNG have agreed to abandon the

transportation service pursuant to Texas

Eastern’s letter agreement dated

December 18, 1995, and have mutually

agreed that the appropriate date for

termination of the transportation service

for CNG under the terms of Texas

Eastern’s Rate Schedule X–93 is March

15, 1992.

CNG and Equitrans state they do not

propose to abandon any facilities

pursuant to the instant application.

Texas Eastern has filed a companion

abandonment application in Docket No.

CP96–325–000 requesting authority to

abandon Rate Schedule X–93.

426 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural

Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request that is on file with the
