21168 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 91 / Thursday, May 9, 1996 / Notices

[Docket No. CP96–347–000]

Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.;

Notice of Application

April 30, 1996.

Take notice that on April 23, 1996,

Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc.

(Granite State), filed in Docket No.

CP96–347–000, an application pursuant

to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

requesting authorization for the

abandonment of: (1) approximately

15.26 miles of 6-inch pipeline located

between Exeter, New Hampshire and

Haverhill, Massachusetts; and (2) a

compressor station located in Plaistow,

New Hampshire, comprised of two 375

HP Ingersoll-Rand reciprocating

engines, valves, station piping and

appurtenant equipment, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

According to Granite State, the

proposed interstate pipeline that the

Portland Natural Gas Transmission

System (PNGTS) plans to construct and

operate in its pending application before

the Commission, Docket No. CP96–249–

000, involves a routing south from

Portland to Haverhill which closely

parallels Granite State’s existing

pipeline. From Exeter south to

Haverhill, the routing of the PNGTS is

alongside Granite State’s existing

pipeline. Granite State says that it owns

and operates parallel 6- and 10-inch

pipelines for a distance of

approximately 15.26 miles. Granite

State requests authority to abandon its

6-inch pipeline in order to make way for

and provide space for the location of the

new PNGTS 20-inch line, which will

allow the PNGTS pipeline to be laid in

the existing right-of-way, alongside

Granite State’s 10-inch pipeline.

According to Granite State, the

abandoned 6-inch line will be removed

from its existing location and disposed

off by PNGTS at no cost to Granite State.

At the time the 6-inch is removed,

PNGTS will reimburse Granite State for

the undepreciated cost, which as of

December 31, 1995 was $44,099.00.

Granite State says it will convey to

PNGTS the right to use the right-of-way

occupied by the 6-inch line at a price to

be negotiated later. The actual

abandonment and removal of the 6-inch

line and the compressor station will not

occur until the construction of the

PNGTS 20-inch pipeline begins in the

Exeter to Haverhill area, sometime

during the 1998 construction season.

Granite State further requests that a

Commission order approving the

requested abandonment be issued

contemporaneously with a Commission

ordered issuing a certificate to PNGTS

in Docket No. CP96–249–000.

According to Granite State, there will be

no loss of service or decrease in service

to any of its customers as a result of the

proposed abandonments.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 21,

1996, 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

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 permission and

approval for the proposed

abandonments are 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 provide

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Granite State to appear

or be represented at the hearing.
