delivery of natural gas to Southwest Gas

Corporation (Southwest), under El

Paso’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–435–000 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.

El Paso states that Southwest seeks to

deliver natural gas to its customers from

a point of El Paso’s 123⁄4’’ O.D. Santan

Line in Maricopa County, Arizona. The

proposed location is approximately at

milepost 9.2 on El Paso’s 123⁄4’’ O.D.

Santan Line in the NE/4 of Section 20,

Township 1 South, Range 6 East, in

Maricopa County, Arizona. El Paso has

been advised that Southwest will use

the gas to serve the residential,

commercial, and industrial

requirements of its customers in the

Gilbert, Arizona area. El Paso requests

authorization to construct and operate

the proposed delivery point (known as

the Gilbert City Gate Meter Station) on

its 123⁄4’’ O.D. Santan Line in Maricopa

County, Arizona. The estimated cost is

$92,100 and Southwest has agreed to

reimburse El Paso pursuant to their

letter agreement.

El Paso states that the proposed

delivery point is not prohibited by its

existing tariff and that it has sufficient

capacity to accomplish deliveries

without detriment or disadvantage to

other customers. The proposed delivery

point will not have an effect on El

Paso’s peak day and annual deliveries

and the total volumes delivered will not

exceed total volumes authorized prior to

this request.

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 § 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withdrawn within 30 days after the time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.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Application to Abandon

Facilities by Sale

July 1, 1996.

Take notice that on June 26, 1996,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), 1010 Milam Street,

Houston, Texas 77252, filed an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the

Commission’s Regulations for an order

granting permission and approval to

abandon by sale to Chevron U.S.A. Inc.

(Chevron), Tennessee’s Line 823X–100

and related facilities located Offshore

Louisiana. The application is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Tennessee states that on July 18, 1975,

the Commission issued Tennessee

authorization 1 to, among other things,

construct a 0.62 mile, 16-inch diameter

pipeline lateral (‘‘Line 823X–100’’) and

Meter No. 0–0033, in East Cameron

Block 281 ‘‘A’’ (EC 281 ‘‘A’’), Offshore

Louisiana. The facilities were

authorized to permit Tennessee to

connect reserves acquired by Tennessee

and Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation (Texas Eastern), which in

turn connects with the interstate

pipeline system of Texas Eastern.

Tennessee and Texas Eastern were also

authorized to effectuate a gas

transmission and exchange agreement

under which, among other things, Texas

Eastern and Tennessee agreed to

transport and exchange gas produced

from various offshore locations,

including EC 281 ‘‘A’’, to mutually

agreeable points on their respective

systems.

Tennessee states that the gas purchase

and sales agreements under which the

EC 281 ‘‘A’’ gas reserves were dedicated

to Tennessee have terminated and that,

currently, this line is utilized only to

transport natural gas volumes produced

in the EC 281 area for Chevron. Finally,

Tennessee indicates that it no longer

requires this facility as a means of

obtaining gas reserves and that Chevron

will continue to utilize Line 823X–100

to gather and transport gas produced by

Chevron or any shippers or working

interest owners seeking transportation

services in the East Cameron area.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 22,

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

385.211 and 385.214) 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 in any proceeding

herein 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

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 permission and approval for the

proposed abandonment are 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 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 Tennessee to appear or

to be represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
