[Docket No. CP96–488–000]

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

May 8, 1996.

Take notice that on May 3, 1996, El

Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso),

P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas, 79978,

filed in Docket No. CP96–488–000 a

request pursuant to Section 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 certain

miscellaneous tap and meter facilities

and the service rendered by means

thereof, under the blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–435–000,

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.

El Paso states that the certificate

authorizations for the construction and

operation of the miscellaneous tap and

meter facilities for which El Paso now

seeks abandonment authorization were

issued in Docket Nos. G–2363, CP69–23,

CP70–78, CP74–119, and CP84–243, or

installation and service was permitted

under Section 2.55(c) of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure. El Paso indicates that these

facilities were required to facilitate,

generally, the delivery and/or

measurement and sale of natural gas

from its interstate transmission pipeline

system to certain customers for resale.

The request for authorization further

states that with respect to these

miscellaneous tap and meter facilities,

El Paso periodically reviews, inter alia,

the operating status of such facilities

located on its interstate pipeline system.

El Paso indicates that such review has

show that there are twelve

miscellaneous tap and meter facilities

located in various counties in Arizona,

New Mexico, and Texas that are eligible

for abandonment for which El Paso now

seeks abandonment.

El Paso asserts that it proposes to

abandon such facilities and to thereafter

remove and place in stock the salvable

materials and scrap the nonsalvable

items, without material change in its

average cost-of-service. It is further

asserted that the proposed

abandonments will not result in or case

any interruption, reduction, or

termination of natural gas service

presently rendered El Paso to any of its

customers.

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 157.295), a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activities shall 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.

[Docket No. CP96–486–000]

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

May 8, 1996.

Take notice that on May 3, 1996, El

Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso),

Post Office Box 1492, El Paso, Texas

79978, filed a request with the

Commission in Docket No. CP96–486–

000, pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for authorization to operate two

existing tap and valve assemblies

located in Reeves County, Texas as

jurisdictional delivery points for the

delivery of natural gas, authorized in

blanket certificates issued in Docket

Nos. CP82–435–000 and CP88–433–000,

all as more fully set forth in the request

on file with the Commission and open

to the public inspection.

El Paso proposes to utilize two

existing tap and valve assemblies which

El Paso states that it installed in

connection with the construction and

installation of their Lockridge and

Hamon-Toro Line Field Compressor

Stations to facilitate the delivery of its

own pipeline quality gas supply for fuel

to these compressors. The compressor

stations are now owned by a different

entity but still require pipeline quality

gas for fuel. Therefore, El Paso now

seeks authorization to utilize the two

existing tap and valve assemblies as

jurisdictional delivery points to provide

El Paso Field Service Company (Field

Services) natural gas deliveries, at Field

Services’ request. Field Services intends

to supply El Paso Gas Marketing

Company (Gas Marketing) with gas for

fuel at the Lockridge and Hamon-Toro

Line Field Compressor Stations. In turn,

Gas Marketing has requested El Paso to

provide interruptible transportation to

the two existing tap and valve

assemblies on El Paso’s mainline

transmission system in Reeves Country,

Texas.

El Paso states that the operation of the

proposed delivery points at the

Lockridge and Hamon-Toro Line Field

Compressor Stations is not prohibited

by El Paso’s existing Volume No. 1–A

Tariff and that the volumes proposed to

be delivered through the two existing

tap and valve assemblies would be

delivered pursuant to an effective

transportation arrangement between El

Paso and Gas Marketing. El Paso further

states that it has sufficient capacity to

accomplish the deliveries specified

under the Transportation Service

Agreement without detriment or
