DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP01–93–000]

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation

and Forest Oil Corporation; Notice of

Application

March 2, 2001.

On February 23, 2001, pursuant to

section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)

and Part 157 of the Regulations of the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission), Texas Gas Transmission

Corporation (Texas Gas) and Forest Oil

Corporation (Forest Oil) filed in Docket

No. CP01–093–000 and abbreviated

application for: (1) Authorization for

Texas Gas to abandon by sale to Forest

Oil certain supply lateral facilities

located in the South Marsh Island area,

offshore Louisiana and (2) a declaratory

order, that upon approval of the

abandonment by sale, Forest Oil’s

ownership and operation of the subject

supply lateral facilities will be exempt

from the Commission jurisdiction under

the NGA, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. The filing may be viewed at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

The application states that Texas Gas

has entered into an agreement with

Forest Oil (successor to Force Energy,

Inc.) whereby Texas Gas will, upon

Commission approval, transfer by sale

to Forest Oil certain supply lateral

facilities consisting of approximately

2.12 miles of 8-inch diameter pipeline,

1.85 miles of 6-inch diameter pipeline

and appurtenances located in blocks 10

and 11 of the South Marsh Island Area,

offshore Louisiana.

Texas Gas states that the subject

facilities, which are not contiguous to

its mainline system, were originally

constructed and operated to support its

merchant function by connecting

supplies in the South Marsh Island Area

to the ANR Pipeline Company’s

pipeline system for ultimate delivery to

Texas Gas’ mainline system. Due to the

elimination of Texas Gas’ merchant

function and termination of third party

transportation agreements, for delivery

of the subject gas supplies to Texas Gas’

mainline system, Texas Gas no longer

has a firm transportation commitment

involving the utilization of these

facilities. As such, these facilities are no

longer integral to Texas Gas’ role as an

open-access transporter, and

abandonment of these facilities will

enable Texas Gas to streamline its

transmission operations.

Texas Gas states that abandonment,

by sale, of these supply lateral facilities

will not adversely affect any of Texas

Gas’ customers, since for the past

several years, records show that these

supply facilities have not been utilized.

Questions regarding the details of this

proposal and communications

concerning this application should be

directed to: David N. Roberts, Manager

of Certificates and Tariffs, Texas Gas

Transmission Corporation, PO Box

20008, Owensboro, Kentucky, 42304;

There are two ways to become

involved in the Commission’s review of

this project. First, any person wishing to

obtain legal status by becoming a party

to the proceedings for this project

should, on or before March 23, 2001, file

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426, a motion to

intervene in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations

under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A

person obtaining party status will be

placed on the service list maintained by

the Secretary of the Commission and

filed by the applicant and by all other
