compliance with the petroleum

regulations.

The proposed extension of 10 CFR

210.1 will enable the ERA to continue

its efforts to complete the enforcement

program with respect to prior petroleum

price and allocation regulations.

II. Current Actions

This is an extension with no change

of the existing requirements. The

requirements are proposed to be

extended for a period of three years,

from October 31, 1996 to October 31,

1999.

III. Request for Comments

Prospective respondents and other

interested parties should comment on

the actions discussed in item II. The

following guidelines are provided to

assist in the preparation of responses.

General Issues

EIA is interested in receiving

comments from persons regarding

whether the proposed recordkeeping

requirements are necessary for the

proper performance of the functions of

the agency.

As a Potential Respondent

A. Are the instructions regarding the

recordkeeping requirements clear and

sufficient? If not, which instructions

require clarification?

B. Can data be maintained as

specified in the recordkeeping

requirements?

C. Public reporting burden for the

recordkeeping requirements are

estimated to average 4 hours per

respondent. Burden includes the total

time, effort, or financial resources

expended to generate, maintain, retain,

or disclose or provide the information

including: (1) Reviewing instructions;

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and

utilizing technology and systems for the

purposes of collecting, validating,

verifying, processing, maintaining,

disclosing and providing information;

(3) adjusting the existing ways to

comply with any previously applicable

instructions and requirements; (4)

training personnel; (5) searching data

sources; (6) completing and reviewing

the information; and (7) transmitting, or

otherwise disclosing the information.

Please comment on (1) the accuracy of

our estimate and (2) how the agency

could minimize the burden of this

requirement, including through the use

of automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

D. What are the estimated (1) total

dollar amount annualized for capital

and start-up costs, and (2) recurring

annual dollar amount of operation and

maintenance and purchase of services

costs associated with this requirement?

The estimates should take into account

the costs associated with generating,

maintaining, and disclosing or

providing the information.

Estimates should not include

purchases of equipment or services

made as part of customary and usual

business practices, or the cost of any

burden hours. EIA estimates that there

are no additional costs other than those

that the respondent incurs in keeping

the information for its own uses.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of the form. They also will

become a matter of public record.

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP96–566–000]

Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Request Under

Blanket Authorization

June 17, 1996.

Take notice that on June 11, 1996,

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), 1700 McCorkle Avenue,

S.E., Charleston, West Virginia 25314–

1599, filed in Docket No. CP96–566–000

a request pursuant to Sections 157.205

and 157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for

authorization to establish a new

delivery point to accommodate

deliveries of gas transported on a firm

basis for Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania,

Inc. (CPA), in Adams County,

Pennsylvania, under Columbia’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP83–

76–000, pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

forth in the request that is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

Columbia proposes to construct and

operate a 2-inch tap, approximately 25

feet of 2-inch pipeline and a filter

separator in order to deliver up to 85 dt

equivalent of natural gas per day to CPA

at a delivery point to be known as the

Pheasant Meadows delivery point.

Columbia states that it would transport

the gas for CPA under its blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP86–

240–000 and pursuant to the terms of its

Rate Schedule SST. It is asserted that

Columbia would reduce the Maximum

Daily Delivery Obligation at its

Abbottstown delivery point by 85 dt

equivalent of natural gas per day in

order to accommodate the deliveries at

the Pheasant Meadows point without

increasing CPA’s daily entitlement. It is

stated that the end use of the gas would

be residential, for the Pheasant

Meadows subdivision. It is estimated

that the cost of facilities for the

proposed delivery point would be

$25,000, for which Columbia would be

reimbursed 100 percent by CPA. It is

asserted that the proposed deliveries

would not have any impact on

Columbia’s peak day obligations.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after 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 or notice of intervention 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

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 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.

Secretary.

agreements on file with the Commission

as Natural’s Rate Schedules X–56, X–83,

and X–111 and authorized by the

Commission in Docket Nos. CP75–183,

CP77–190 and CP79–204, as amended,

respectively. It is stated that under Rate

Schedule X–56 Natural was receiving

from CIG up to 10,000 Mcf of gas per

day on a firm basis (plus additional

volumes on a best efforts basis, if

available) from CIG’s reserves in Lea

County, New Mexico, and delivering

equivalent volumes to CIG at

interconnections in Texas and

Oklahoma. It is further stated that

Natural had the option to purchase 25

percent of the volumes from CIG. It is

stated that under Rate Schedule X–83

CIG was receiving up to 2,000 Mcf of gas

per day from Natural and delivering

equivalent volumes to Natural at

interconnections in Beaver County,

Oklahoma. It is stated that under Rate

Schedule X–111 CIG and Natural were

transporting and exchanging gas on a

system-wide basis. It is asserted that CIG

and Natural have recently reached

agreement resulting in the resolution of

imbalances. Natural states that it will

cancel the 3 rate schedules on receipt of

abandonment authorization. Natural

explains that no facilities will be

abandoned, and no customers will lose

service as a result of the proposed

abandonments.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 8,

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

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 Natural to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Take notice that on June 10, 1996,

NorAm Gas Transmission Company

(NGT), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport,

Louisiana 71151, filed an application

for permission and approval to abandon

and move compression facilities and

appurtenances thereto, located in Yell

County, Arkansas, and the authority to

construct and operate a new mainline

compressor station in Conway County,

Arkansas, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is open to the

public for inspection.

NGT proposes to abandon the

Chambers Compressor Station which

consists of one 4,000 H.P. engine

and associated equipment which would

then be used in the construction of a

new 4,000 H.P. compressor station (the

Round Mountain Compressor Station),

to be located on NGT’s Line J in Conway

County. NGT estimates that it would

cost $2,377,252 to abandon and remove

the Chambers Compressor Station and

to construct and operate the Round

Mountain Compressor Station. NorAm

states that no service to any of its

existing customers would be affected by

this proposal.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 8,

1996, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

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
