facility capacity to serve Columbia’s

customers in the New York area.

According to Columbia, it became

necessary to operate the Hellertown

Compressor Station at the higher

horsepower to ensure continued service

to customers in the New York area on

an emergency basis. Columbia states

that it has operated in this mode since

January 13, 1996, and that its extended

terms for emergency service will expire

on May 13, 1996. Columbia estimates

that the Line 1278 operating pressure

will not be restored until November

1997, based on a remediation plan

agreed to by Columbia, in consultation

with the Department of Transportation.

It is stated that Columbia must therefore

continue supplementing deliveries to its

New York customers through the

Hellertown Compressor Station.

Therefore, a temporary certificate is

required to continue this level of

service. Columbia states that the

permanent certificate and subsequent

appurtenant compressor facility

upgrades will allow Columbia to better

serve all of its customers over a wider

operating range, thus enhancing the

flexibility of providing service to its

New York customers.

Columbia states that it does not

request authorization for any new or

additional service. It is stated that the

proposed horsepower increase is

necessary to provide reliable service to

all of Columbia’s New York area

customers. Columbia estimates the cost

of the appurtenant facility upgrades at

$860,000. It is stated that no additional

costs are required to achieve the 1100

hp rating per unit, since each unit was

derated originally.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 28,

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

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

with 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 Columbia to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.

Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

May 16, 1996.

Take notice that on May 10, 1996,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG),

P.O. Box 2400, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74102,

filed in Docket No. CP96–516–000 a

request pursuant to Sections 157.205,

and 157.216(b) of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, and 157.216) for

approval to abandon in place

approximately 4,166 feet of the Superior

eight-inch loop pipeline located in

Jewell County, Kansas, under the

blanket certificate issued in Docket No.

CP82–479–000, pursuant to Section 7(c)

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as

more fully set forth in the request which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

WNG states that it is proposing to

abandon the eight-inch pipeline where

the pipeline crosses White Rock Creek,

a tributary to Lovewell Reservoir,

located in Jewell County, Kansas. WNG

further states that in 1955, it installed a

ten-inch pipeline which paralleled the

eight-inch pipeline could either be

operated as a single line or both the

eight-inch line or ten-inch line pipeline

could be operated simultaneously. It is

further asserted that the parallel teninch line has sufficient capacity to

continue to provide service without

detriment or disadvantage to any WNG

customer. WNG indicates that the

reclaim cost of the line is estimated to

be $1,200 with a salvage value of $0.

Any person or the Commission’s Staff

may, within 45 days of the issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214), a motion to

intervene and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205), a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activities 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 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 Natural Gas Act.
