[Docket No. CP97-182-000]
Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
January 13, 1997
Take notice that on January 3, 1997, Mississippi River Transmission
Corporation (MRT), 525 Milam, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana
71151-0001, filed in Docket No. CP97-182-000 a request pursuant to
Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon
pipeline facilities and a delivery tap to be located in St. Louis
County, Missouri, under MRT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No.
CP82-489-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as
more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
MRT proposes to abandon in place: (1) Line A-123, which consists of
14,377 feet of 10-inch pipe and a 2-inch delivery tap, certificated in
Docket No. G-863, located in St. Louis County, Missouri and (2) A
7,401-foot portion of 10-inch pipe on Line A-97, certificated in Docket
No. C-291, located in St. Louis County, Missouri. MRT states that the
subject pipeline laterals are deteriorated, require high maintenance,
and are bare-coated.
MRT asserts that historically, these lines have been used to
deliver natural gas to Laclede Gas Company (Laclede). However, MRT
states Laclede installed 2,150 feet of 2-inch pipe to an existing MRT
tap, which has eliminated MRT's requirement or need to use Line A-123
and the designated portion of Line A-97. MRT advises this proposed
abandonment will not affect their ability to serve Laclede or any other
customer on its system.
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
