[Docket No. CP90-1512-001]
Mountain Fuel Supply Company; Notice of Petition To Amend
December 24, 1997.
Take notice that on December 19, 1997, Mountain Fuel Supply Company
(Mountain Fuel), 180 East First South Street, Salt Lake City, Utah
84145, filed in Docket No. CP90-1512-001 a petition pursuant to Section
7(f) of the Natural Gas Act to amend its certificate issued in Docket
No. CP90-1512, authorizing a service area determination, all as more
fully set forth in the petition on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
Mountain Fuel proposes to modify its service area by adding Box
Elder, Weber Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele and Utah Counties, all located in
Utah, and the remainder of Cache County, Utah, that is not part of
Mountain Fuel's existing service area. It is stated that the service
area presently consists of Franklin County, Idaho, and most of Cache
County, Utah. It is explained that the additional counties are located
along the Wasatch Front of northern Utah and incorporate the Sunset,
Porter's Lane (Centerville), Little Mountain and Payson gate-station
interconnects with Questar Pipeline Company (Questar), an interstate
pipeline company, and the Hunter Park interconnect with Kern River Gas
Transmission Company, an interstate pipeline company.
Mountain Fuel asserts that the additions to the service area are
required to improve its operating flexibility for meeting customer
requirements in its northern Utah and
[[Page 64]]
southern Idaho distribution area. It is stated that Mountain Fuel has
recently experienced operational problems because of declines in the
Btu content of gas received from Questar at its Hyrum Gate Station,
which has been the only source of gas serving customers in the existing
service area. It is explained that Mountain Fuel requires additional
supply sources for gas with higher Btu content to provide reliable
service to its customers.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said petition to amend should on or before January 5,
1998, 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 (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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
