Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 26, 1996 / Notices 33109

Northwest states that this proposal

will allow the meter station to maintain

the ability to accommodate existing firm

Maximum Daily Delivery Obligations

(MDDO) at this delivery point to

Cascade Natural Gas Corporation.

Northwest proposes to modify the meter

station by removing the two existing

obsolete 1-inch regulators and the

existing obsolete 2-inch positive

displacement meter and appurtenances,

installing two new 1-inch regulators and

a new 3-inch turbine meter and

appurtenances as replacements, and

converting the existing 3-inch orifice

meter for operation solely as a backup

to the new turbine meter. Northwest

states that as a result of these

modifications, the meter station’s

maximum design capacity will decrease

from 2,300 Dth per day to 1,837 Dth per

day at 150 psig. The total cost of the

proposed facility replacements is

$116,360. The meter station is located in

Section 6, Township 5 North, Range 36

East, Umatilla County, Oregon, at

Milepost 22.55 on Northwest’s Walla

Lateral.

Northwest states that the proposed

facility modifications is not prohibited

by its existing tariff, that it has sufficient

capacity to accomplish deliveries

without detriment or disadvantage to

other customers, that its peak day and

annual deliveries will not be impacted

and that the total volumes delivered

will be within the authorized

entitlements.

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 Procedural Rules (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protest is filed and not withdrawn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.

Components which are prescribed by

the Global Settlement to be filed as a

component of Texas Eastern’s annual

ASA filings under Section 15.6 of the

5.65% in the summer season and from

4.64% to 5.40% in the fall season for

transportation service from Access Area

Zone East Louisiana to Market Zone 3

(ELA–M3) and the impact of the

increase in Spot Fuel Components for

ELA–M3 is $.0098/dth.

[Docket No. CP96–533–000, et al.]

Petal Gas Storage Company, et al.;

Natural Gas Certificate Filings

June 18, 1996.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Petal Gas Storage Company

[Docket No. CP96–533–000]

Take notice that on May 22, 1996, as

supplemented on June 11, 1996, Petal

Gas Storage Company (Petal), Fairlane

Plaza South, 330 Town Center Drive,

Dearborn, Michigan 48126–2712, filed

in Docket No. CP96–533–000 a request

pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for

authorization to construct and operate a

new delivery point adjacent to Petal’s

natural gas storage facilities in Forrest

County, Mississippi and to acquire,

construct and operate appurtenant

facilities to accommodate natural gas

deliveries for the account of NorAm

Energy Services, Inc. (NorAm), under

the blanket certificate issued in Docket

No. CP95–14–000, pursuant to Section

7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more

fully set forth in the request which is on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Petal asserts that the proposed

delivery point will permit Petal to

accommodate natural gas deliveries on

an interruptible basis, pursuant to a

presently-effective storage service

agreement between Petal and NorAm.

Petal states that the proposed delivery

point would be located approximately

one-half mile north of Petal’s storage

field, which is north of the town of

Petal, Mississippi, and would permit the

delivery for NorAm or other customers

to Hattiesburg Gas Storage Company

(Hattiesburg), a Hinshaw pipeline that is

subject to the jurisdiction of the

Mississippi Public Service Commission.

Petal states that presently, natural gas

stored in its facilities can only be

delivered to or received from Tennessee

Gas Pipeline Company and Koch

Gateway Pipeline Company. The

proposed new delivery point would

permit Petal to deliver gas from

NorAm’s Petal storage account to

Hattiesburg for storage in Hattiesburg’s

facilities, or to receive gas from

Hattiesburg for NorAm’s account for

storage in Petal’s facilities. Additionally,

Hattiesburg’s connection with

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation and AIM Pipeline Company

could also provide NorAm with access

to additional interstate and intrastate

markets. Petal notes that the new

delivery point would also be available

for use by other customers.

The delivery point facilities will

consist of (1) approximately 2,600 feet

of an existing 8-inch pipeline to be

acquired by Petal from its parent

company, CMS Gas Transmission and

Storage Company; (2) 300 feet of 12-inch

pipeline extending to the Hattiesburg

Industrial Gas Sales Company with

associated 12-inch control valves and

1,800 feet of 12-inch pipeline

connecting the 8-inch pipeline to the

Petal facilities, including 8-inch control

and manual valves, flanges, studs, nuts,

etc. and 12-inch by 8-inch reducers; and

(3) a metering station 300 feet from the

interconnection with Hattiesburg at the

terminus of the 8-inch pipeline. Petal

estimates that the maximum allowable

operating pressure of the delivery point

facilities will be 1135 psig, and the

facilities will be capable of

accommodating the bidirectional flow of

up to 100,000 MMBtu/d. Petal estimates

that it will deliver approximately 25,000

MMBtu/d on a peak-day basis and

approximately 500,000 MMBtu annually

at the proposed delivery point on an

interruptible basis.

Petal estimates that the total cost of

the proposed construction will be

$450,000. Petal notes that it has been

authorized by the Commission to charge

market-based rates, and therefore it will

bear the cost of the proposed facilities

exclusively. Petal states that the total

volumes of gas to be delivered to

NorAm after the proposed delivery

point has been installed will not exceed

the total volumes presently authorized

and the installation of the proposed

delivery point is not prohibited by its

FERC Gas Tariff. Petal notes that the

delivery point will not affect its

certificated peak-day and annual

deliveries, because it does not propose

an increase in certificated firm capacity.

Petal claims that the new delivery point

should permit increased utilization of

its storage facilities on a peak-day and

year-round basis. Petal asserts that it has

sufficient capacity to accomplish

deliveries for NorAm at the proposed

delivery point without detriment or

disadvantage to its other customers.

Comment date: August 2, 1996, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph G

at the end of this notice.
