[Docket No. CP95-138-000]
Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America; Notice of Application
January 6, 1995.
Take notice that on December 29, 1994, Natural Gas Pipeline Company
of America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148,
filed in Docket No. CP95-138-000 an application pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon by
sale an offshore pipeline lateral and appurtenant facilities located
offshore Texas, all as more fully set forth in the application on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Natural proposes to abandon by sale to NCX Company, Inc. (NCX), a
0.95 mile pipeline lateral in High Island, Block A-270 (HI A-270). It
is stated that the lateral was constructed under Natural's budget
certificate in Docket No. CP80-86-000, to gain access to gas supplies
from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (Chevron) and to transport gas for itself and
for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), which was also
receiving gas supplies from Chevron, through the High Island Offshore
System. It is asserted that NCX is one of the working interest owners
in HI A-270 and the operator of the platform. It is explained that NCX
would purchase the facilities for $550,000. It is stated that NCX is
requesting in a separate petition that the Commission issue a
declaratory order making a determination that the lateral be considered
a non-jurisdictional gathering facility.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before January 27, 1995,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 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 to a proceeding or to participate as a
party in any hearing therein 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 Federal Energy
Regulatory 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 propose 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 a 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 Natural to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
