[Docket No. CP99-12-000]
Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
October 16, 1998.
Take notice that on October 9, 1998, Southern Natural Gas Company
(Southern), Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed
in Docket No. CP99-12-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205,
157.212 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
[[Page 56632]]
157.212, 157.216) for authorization to abandon certain regulating
facilities in conjunction with the change in operation of an existing
delivery point Southern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No.
CP82-406-000 pursuant to Section 7 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.
Southern states it is currently authorized to deliver natural gas
to Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco) at Southern's Anniston #3
Delivery Point (Anniston #3) as specified under Exhibit B to the Firm
Service Agreements between Southern and Alagasco. Anniston #3 is
located at or near Milepost 371.641 on Southern's 20-inch North Main
Line in Section 32, Township 16 South, Range 7 East, Calhoun County,
Alabama. Specifically, Southern proposes to abandon the regulating
facilities and relief valve, isolation valves, and header at Anniston
#3, and to install four 6-inch regulators, one 6-inch meter run, six 6-
inch ball valves and one 12-inch header. As a result of these
modifications the meter station at the delivery point will be
redesigned to deliver gas to Alagasco at a minimum contract pressure of
200 psig during the period April 1 through September 30 of each year
and at a minimum contract pressure of 250 psig during the period
October 1 through March 31 of each year. Alagasco agrees that it shall
be responsible for any necessary regulation or modification to its
facilities downstream of the station to receive the gas at the contract
pressures described in this paragraph.
Southern states that the abandonment of facilities proposed in this
application will not result in any termination of service, and that
said changes will not result in a change in the total Firm
Transportation Demand delivered to Alagasco. Further, Southern states
that (1) the revised delivery pressure will not cause a detriment or
disadvantage to its other firm customers; (2) deliveries at the revised
delivery pressure will have no impact on Southern's peak day and annual
deliveries; and (3) the abandonment and delivery pressure change are
not prohibited by any existing tariff of Southern.
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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
