Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP94-149-000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp.; Application
December 29, 1993.
Take notice that on December 20, 1993, Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Corporation (TGPL), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in
Docket No. CP94-149-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a 652 horsepower
compressor unit and appurtenant facilities in Nueces County, Texas, all
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
TGPL proposes to abandon by sale the compressor, which is located
at the interconnection between TGPL's Petronilla Lateral and the
pipeline system of Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (Texas
Eastern) in Nueces County. It is stated that the compressor was
installed under Commission authorization in Docket No. CP80-533-000 by
order issued March 23, 1981. It is asserted that the compressor was
installed to alleviate capacity constraints on TGPL's Petronilla
Lateral so that TGPL could take delivery of up to 30,000 Mcf of gas per
day which was imported from Mexico at an existing delivery point with
Texas Eastern. It is explained that TGPL was purchasing gas from Border
Gas, Inc. for system supply purposes, but that TGPL has not purchased
gas under the gas purchase contract since December 1984 and does not
plan to resume such purchases. It is stated that the proposed
abandonment would have no impact on the daily design capacity or
operating conditions on TGPL's system. It is further stated that no
customers would lose service as a result of the proposed abandonment.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before January 7, 1994, 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.
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 proposed 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 TGPL to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
