DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Financial Assistance Award: Niel

Murdock

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy announces that pursuant to 10

CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a financial

assistance award under Grant Number

DE–FG01–95EE15624 to Niel Murdock.

The proposed grant will provide

funding in the estimated amount of

$99,236 by the Department of Energy for

the purpose of saving energy through

development of the inventor’s patented

Self Actuating Spillway Control Device,

a highly efficient alternative to rubber

dams, wooden flashboards, and other

common dam spillway gates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of Energy has determined in

accordance with 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1)

that the unsolicited application for

financial assistance submitted by Niel

Murdock is meritorious based on the

general evaluation required by 10 CFR

600.14(d) and the proposed project

represents a unique idea that would not

be eligible for financial assistance under

a recent, current or planned solicitation.

The new technology is a molded rubber

panel with internal reinforcement that

bends under the force of flood waters.

Once water levels decrease, potential

energy absorbed by the panel forces it

back to its normal, upright position.

Thus the gate is totally self operating.

This novel technology needs no external

power to operate, as do inflatable rubber

dams, and does not wash away in flood

conditions, as do wooden flashboards.

The panel costs approximately half that

of rubber dams, and is very

advantageous at remote sites. For

hydroelectric dams alone, the market

potential of the self-actuating panel is

about $120 million. As hydroelectric

facilities account for only three percent

of the total number of dams in the U.S.,

the market potential appears significant.

The proposed project is not eligible

for financial assistance under a recent,

current or planned solicitation because

the funding program, the Energy Related

Invention Program (ERIP), has been

structured since its beginning in 1975 to

operate without competitive

solicitations because the authorizing

legislation directs ERIP to provide

support for worthy ideas submitted by

the public. The program has never

issued and has no plans to issue a

competitive solicitation. This award

will be made 14 calendar days after

publication to allow for public

comment.

grant is 18 months from the date of

award.

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP95–314–000]

East Tennessee Natural Gas Co.;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

April 14, 1995

Take notice that on April 11, 1995,

East Tennessee Natural Gas Company

(East Tennessee), a Tennessee

Corporation, P.O. Box 2511, Houston,

Texas 77252, filed a request with the

Commission in Docket No. CP95–314–

000 pursuant to §§ 157.205 and 157.212

of the Commission’s Regulations under

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for

permission to establish a new delivery

point, authorized in blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–412–000, all

as more fully set forth in the request on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

East Tennessee proposes to establish

a new delivery point for service under

an interruptible transportation contract

with Equitable Resources Marketing

Company (Equitable), who transports

and delivers natural gas it sells to the

Power Paper Company (Power).

Midcoast Energy Resources, Inc.

(Midcoast) would act as an agent for

Power and would further install the

meter and interconnecting piping. East

Tennessee states that it would install a

two-inch hot tap assembly and

electronic gas measurement facilities

(E.G.M/DAC), and would inspect the

meter and interconnecting piping that

Midcoast installed. Midcoast would

reimburse East Tennessee an estimated

$33,616 for this installation.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after the

Commission has issued this notice, file

pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to

§ 157.205 of the Regulations under the

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

allowed time, the proposed activity

shall be deemed to be authorized

effective the day after the time allowed

for filing a protest. If a protest is filed

and not withdrawn within 30 days after

the time allowed for filing a protest, the

instant request shall be treated as an

application for authorization pursuant

to section 7 of the NGA.

Secretary.

El Paso Natural Gas Co.; Notice of

Tariff Filing

April 14, 1995.

Take notice that on April 12, 1995, El

Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso),

tendered for filing pursuant to Part 154

of the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission Regulations Under the

Natural Gas Act and in compliance with

the Commission’s Final Rule (Order No.

577) issued March 29, 1995 at Docket

No. RM95–5–000, certain revised tariff

sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff, Second

Revised Volume No. 1–A.

El Paso states that the tendered tariff

sheets reflect the Commission’s revision

of § 284.243(h) of its Regulations and

provides for the extension of the

exception which allows shippers to

release capacity without having to

comply with the Commission’s advance

posting and bidding requirements to one

full calendar month. El Paso states that

its tariff currently provides for the

Commission’s clarification of the

exemptions of the posting and bidding

requirements for transactions at the

maximum rate.

El Paso states that the tendered tariff

sheets also revise the posting of rollovers of exempted releases by changing

the period in which shippers that

released capacity at less than the

maximum rate may re-release capacity

to the same shipper at less than the

maximum rate from 30 days to 28 days.

El Paso, pursuant to Section 154.51 of

the Commission’s Regulations,

respectfully requests waiver of the

notice requirement of § 154.22 of said

Regulations to permit the tendered tariff

sheets to become effective on May 4,

1995, which is the date Order No. 577

will become effective.

El Paso states that copies of the filing

were served upon all of El Paso’s

interstate pipeline system transportation

customers and interested state

regulatory commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 825

North Capitol Street, NE., Washington,

DC 20426, in accordance with

§§ 385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests should be

filed on or before April 21, 1995.

Protests will be considered by the

Commission in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party must file a motion to

intervene. Copies of this filing are on

file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.

Secretary.

[Docket No. CP95–320–000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.; Notice of

Application

April 14, 1995.

Take notice that on April 12, 1995,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

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

Texas 77252, filed an application in

Docket No. CP95–320–000 pursuant to

sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas

Act requesting permission and approval

to abandon in place certain pipeline and

to abandon by removal certain other

pipeline facilities and for a certificate of

public convenience and necessity

authorizing it to construct and operate

replacement pipeline facilities in order

to improve an existing river crossing, all

as more fully set forth in the application

on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Tennessee states that the results of a

corrosion survey indicate that the three

16-inch pipelines located on

Tennessee’s 100–1, Line where it

crosses the D‘Arbonne Bayou in

Ouachita Parish, Louisiana have

deteriorated and must be replaced. In

order to maintain the integrity of its

mainline transmission system,

Tennessee proposes to construct a single

24-inch replacement pipeline.

The existing crossing consists of two

24-inch headers with three connecting

16-inch with three connecting 16-inch

lines and approximately 819 feet

connecting the header on the west bank

to Tennessee’s Line 100–1. The portion

of the three 16-inch lines beneath the

bayou (536 feet each) will be abandoned

in place and capped on the east and

west banks. The remaining on-bank tiein facilities (three segments of 423 feet

each and one 24-inch line segment of

819 feet), including the two 24-inch

headers will be removed.

Tennessee states that the age of the

facilities (nearly 50 years old), the
