4. CNG Transmission Corporation

[Docket No. CP96–558–000]

Take notice that on June 7, 1996, CNG

Transmission Corporation (CNG), 445

West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301, filed in Docket No.

CP96–558–000 an application pursuant

to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

and Part 157 of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission’s Regulations

for permission and approval to abandon

in place 67.07 miles of 14-inch pipeline

known as Line 14, located in Potter

County, Pennsylvania and Livingston,

Allegany, and Wyoming Counties, New

York, all as more fully set forth in the

application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

CNG desires to retire Line 14 because

of its age and condition. CNG states that

the pipeline was originally constructed

and placed in service in 1937 by G.L.

Cabot. CNG notes that the abandonment

will not have an affect on its existing

services because the markets served by

Line 14 have declined and its existing

parallel Lines 24 and 554 have sufficient

capacity to maintain services to the

markets served by this part of CNG’s

systems. CNG proposes to leave two

sections of Line 14, one section between

Barber Road and Randall and the other

section between Donovan and State Line

Production, in service. Additionally,

CNG is planning to utilize certain

segments of Line 14, after it has been

abandoned in place, to provide

additional cathodic protection to

parallel Line 24. CNG states that the

work to enhance cathodic protection of

Line 24 will be an auxiliary installation

authorized under Section 2.55 of the

Commission’s Regulations.

CNG states that the public

convenience and necessity will be

served if the Commission authorizes

this abandonment because it will enable

CNG to retire a deteriorated pipeline,

thereby protecting the integrity and

enhancing the safe operation of CNG’s

system and it will lower the long-term

costs on the system. CNG states that cost

savings will consist of a reduction in

operating and maintenance costs, fuel

loss, and capital expenditures for

replacing segments of existing pipelines.

CNG’s proposed accounting treatment

for the cost of property provides a debit

Account 108 (accumulated provision for

depreciation of gas plant in service) and

credit Account 101 (gas plant in service

367-transmission lines) by $1,959,685.

CNG asserts that the abandonment of

Line 14 in place will have no significant

environmental impact.

presently authorized to accept from

WEPCO each year a daily volume of up

to 2,000 Mcf and an annual volume of

up to 400,000 Mcf for storage and

redelivery to WEPCO at a daily rate of

6,000 Mcf during the period

commencing November 1 to the next

succeeding March 1. It is further

asserted that it is the mutual consent of

the parties to replace the existing

certificated service being performed

under Rate Schedule X–24 with

agreements for transportation and

storage service under Rate Schedules

ETS, FSS, and NNS of ANR’s FERC Gas

Tariff. For ease of administration, ANR

requests that the abandonment of Rate

Schedule X–24 be made effective on the

last day of the calendar month in which

abandonment.

Dth and 64,000, respectively, and would

transported under Columbia’s Rate

Schedule GTS.

Columbia states that the construction

and operation of the new point of

delivery has been requested by NGO for

firm transportation service for
