Northern Border Pipeline Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

May 10, 1996.

Take notice that on May 6, 1996,

Northern Border Pipeline Company

(Northern Border) tendered for filing to

become part of Northern Border

Pipeline Company’s FERC Gas Tariff,

First Revised Volume No. 1, the

following tariff sheet to become effective

June 5, 1996:

Second Revised Sheet Number 162

Northern Border states that the

purpose of this filing is to allow

Northern Border to substantiate a

prospective IT–1 Shipper’s unaudited

year-end financial statements by

analysis of the audited financial

statements of the Shipper’s parent or

affiliate. As proposed if a Shipper with

unaudited year-end financial statements

has an acceptable credit and financial

history and the Shipper’s financial

statements can be substantiated by its

parent’s or affiliate’s audited financial

statements, Northern Border would be

able to accept the Shipper’s financials as

credit support. Without this change, no

matter what is provided in support for

the Shipper’s credit, without audited

financial statements of Shipper, Shipper

cannot meet Northern Border’s credit

standard.

The herein proposed change does not

result in a change in Northern Border’s

total revenue requirement.

Northern Border states that copies of

this filing have been sent to all of

Northern Border’s contracted shippers.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Trailblazer Pipeline Company; Notice

of Application

May 10, 1996.

Take notice that on May 6, 1996,

Trailblazer Pipeline Company

(Trailblazer), 701 East 22nd Street,

Lombard, Illinois 60148, filed in Docket

No. CP96–506–000 an application

pursuant to Section (c) of the Natural

Gas Act requesting a certificate of public

convenience and necessity, authorizing

Trailblazer to construct and operate a

5,200 horsepower compressor in

Lincoln County, Nebraska, all as more

fully set forth in the application on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

It is stated that in Opinion No. 138,

dated March 12, 1982, the Commission

issued a certificate of public
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 96 / Thursday, May 16, 1996 / Notices 24787

convenience and necessity, requested in

Docket No. CP79–80–000, for initial

construction to 3 pipelines: Trailblazer,

Overthrust Pipeline Company and

Wyoming Interstate Gas Company, Ltd.

(WIC). It is explained that among the

facilities authorized in that certificate

was a 4,500 horsepower compressor to

be located at Trailblazer’s Compressor

Station No. 602, in Lincoln County,

Nebraska. It is asserted that Trailblazer

never utilized its authority to install the

4,500 horsepower compressor and now

wishes to install a compressor with

increased capacity in order to satisfy

current market demand. It is stated that

the proposed compressor would

increase Trailblazer’s firm design day

capacity by approximately 104,528 Mcf

of natural gas per day to a total of

492,000 Mcf per day. It is estimated that

the cost of construction would be

$11,663,000.

Trailblazer states that it would use the

compression for firm transportation

services under its Rate Schedule FTS

and that it has 10-year contracts with

shippers for all the additional capacity.

Trailblazer asserts that its proposal is

related to certificate applications filed

in Docket No. CP96–289–000 by

Colorado Interstate Gas Company and

CP96–288–000 by WIC, both requesting

authorization to increase capacity on

their systems. It is explained that

Trailblazer’s proposed facilities are

required to provide downstream

capacity for some of the increased flow

on the other 2 systems.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 31,

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 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 Trailblazer to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

May 10, 1996.

Take notice that on May 7, 1996,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG)

Post Office Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma

74101, filed a request with the

Commission in Docket No. CP96–510–

000, pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for authorization to utilize

facilities originally installed for the

delivery of NGPA Section 311

transportation gas to Public Service

Company of Colorado (PSCo) in Weld

County, Colorado, for any purpose

authorized in blanket certificate issued

in Docket No. CP82–479–000, all as

more fully set forth in the request on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

WNG proposes to utilize existing

NGPA Section 311 transportation

facilities for other deliveries of gas to

PSCo. The facilities were originally

installed for the delivery of

transportation gas to Western Gas

Supply Company (WGS), an intrastate

pipeline. WGS was subsequently

acquired by PSCo. Until recently, NGPA

Section 311 authority has been

sufficient for gas deliveries to PSCo;

however, PSCo and WNG agree that it

would offer PSCo more flexibility to

have the additional delivery authority.

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 Section

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
