[Docket No. CP94-267-003]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Amended Application
October 18, 1995.
Take notice that on October 10, 1995, NorAm Gas Transmission
Company (NGT), formerly Arkla Energy Resources Company, 1600 Smith
Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP94-267-003 an
amended application pursuant to Section 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act for authorization to replace and reroute segments of its Line F
in Louisiana and to make other minor pipeline changes, all as more
fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
NGT states that it filed an application in Docket No. CP94-267-000
on March 4, 1994, to replace and rearrange an existing mainline
pipeline, abandon minor storage and gas supply facilities and make
minor mainline enhancements to its pipeline system in Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas. NGT relates that on October 4, 1994, it filed in
Docket No. CP94-267-001, an amendment to its application to modify the
compression facilities that were originally proposed to be installed
and rearranged in the existing Ruston Storage Compressor yard. NGT
reports that on April 5, 1995, the Commission issued an order in Docket
Nos. CP94-267-000 and CP94-267-001 authorizing the construction,
operation, and abandonment of facilities.\1\ NGT notes that on May 5,
1995, it filed a request for rehearing and clarification of the April
5, 1995 order and, on June 16, 1995, it requested that the Commission
take no further action in this docket pending its evaluation of recent
developments that could affect the enhancements and replacements
proposed by NGT.
\1\71 FERC 61,017 (1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NGT states that it has completed its evaluation and is filing to
amend its application to modify its proposed replacements and
abandonments and to eliminate nearly all the proposed system
enhancements. NGT explains that its original application sought
authority to spend approximately $48.6 million to make various
replacements and rearrangements. NGT relates that its amended proposal
involves a request for authority to spend approximately $23.7 million,
a decrease of approximately $25 million, to replace and rearrange parts
of its pipeline system.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said amended application should on or before November 8,
1995, 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 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 a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, or if the Commission on its 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 NGT to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
