Transwestern Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

May 14, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 30, 1996, Transwestern Pipeline Company 
(Transwestern), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-
1188, filed an application with the Commission in Docket No. CP096-370-
000 pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) 
requesting a blanket certificate of public convenience and necessity, 
authorizing Transwestern to install and operate mobile compressors on a 
temporary basis while existing compressors are undergoing maintenance, 
and permission and approval to abandon the compressors, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is open to the public for 
inspection.
    Transwestern states that it requires the blanket certificate in 
order to maintain throughout in the event of scheduled or unscheduled 
maintenance. Transwestern also states that it would attempt to achieve 
comparable horsepower and deliverability with the temporary compressors 
as that which is available with the permanent compressors. Transwestern 
asserts that the blanket certificate would enable Transwestern to 
install temporary compressors without a prior filing and to avoid 
interruptions of service to customers. Transwestern states that it does 
not own a compressor unit which could be used on an as-needed, 
temporary basis and that it would use rental units at a cost estimated 
to be no greater than $75,000 per unit per month.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before May 24, 1996, 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 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (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 proceedings. Any person wishing to 
become a part 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 NGA 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 with 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 Transwestern to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
