Southern California Edison Co.; Notice

of Filing

May 14, 1996.

Take notice that Pacific Gas and

Electric Company, San Diego Gas &

Electric Company, and Southern

California Edison Company (‘‘the

Companies’’), on April 29, 1996,

tendered for filing a Joint Application

for Authorization To Convey

Operational Control of Designated

Jurisdictional Facilities to an

application requests authorization to

transfer operational control (but not

ownership) of certain transmission

facilities to an Independent System

Operator (‘‘ISO’’). The application

describes the proposed governance and

structure of the ISO, the manner in

which the ISO will operate, and the

transmission access and pricing rules

that will apply to service over the ISO

grid.

In addition, the application sets forth

recommended time frames for actions

by the Companies, the Commission, and

the participants in this proceeding. The

Commission invites comments on these

procedural proposals in addition to

comments on the substantive proposal.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest such application should file a

petition to intervene or protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Sections 214

and 211 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.214

and 385.211. All petitions or protests

should be filed on or before June 13,

1996. Protests will be considered by the

Commission in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party must file a petition to

intervene. Copies of this application are

on file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection.

[Docket No. CP96–370–000]

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.

Secretary.
