Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America; Notice of Amendment to

Application

June 20, 1996.

Take notice that on June 18, 1996,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America (Natural), located at 701 East

22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148,

filed in Docket No. CP96–27–001, an

amendment to its application pursuant

to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act

and Subpart A of part 157 of the

Commission’s Regulations. Natural

seeks a certificate of public convenience

and necessity authorizing the

construction and operation of certain

facilities which will increase the

capacity of its Amarillo Mainline

system. Natural now amends its

proposal to modify the design of the

proposed expansion. The details of

Natural’s amendment are all as more

fully set forth in its filing which is on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection. (For details of

Natural’s original application, see

Notice of Application in Docket No.

CP96–27–000, issued on October 25,

1995, and published in the Federal

Register on November 2, 1995, (60 FR

55711).)

Natural states that it is now requesting

authorization to:
33108 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 26, 1996 / Notices

1Natural had previously proposed to relocate a

smaller compressor unit from Texas to Illinois.

2Natural had previously proposed to retrofit

Station No. 199 and increase its horsepower by

4,500.

3One shipper which was previously part of the

project, Renaissance Energy (US) has dropped out.

(1) Construct and operate a new 9,000

horsepower compressor at Station No.

110 in Henry County, Illinois,1

(2) Construct and operate about 9.7

miles of 36-inch pipeline loop in Louisa

and Muscatine Counties, Iowa. The loop

would be immediately upstream (to the

west) of Station No. 199, which is in

Muscatine County.2

The primary purpose of Natural’s

proposal, to add new firm transportation

service downstream of from Harper,

Iowa, has not been changed. Other than

described above, the other facilities

proposed in Natural’s original

application remain unchanged. Natural

had previously proposed to add 550,000

Mcf per day of new service, but reduced

its proposal to 525,000 Mcf per day of

new service.3 Natural is still planning to

use roughly 180,000 Mcf per day of

future released capacity, plus 345,000

Mcf per day of the additional capacity

gained from the proposed facilities for

these services. The total cost of

Natural’s proposal has decreased from

$87,467,000 to $85,415,000. Also,

Natural restates that it plans to recover

the cost of this expansion by means of

an incremental rate applied to the

345,000 Mcf per day of expansion

capacity.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to this

amendment to the application should

on or before June 28, 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 (28 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

and the Regulations under the Natural

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.20). 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 the proceeding or

to participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules. All persons who have heretofore

filed motions to intervene need not file

again.

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 the amended 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

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given. Under the procedure

herein provided for, unless otherwise
