Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in
Docket No. CP96-793-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18

Panhandle proposes to establish and install a point of

peaking power project located in Sangamon County, Illinois. Panhandle
states the interconnect will include a tap, minor connecting pipe,
measuring and regulating station with flow control and electronic flow
measurement equipment.
In addition to the facilities described above, Panhandle proposes
to construct approximately 3,000 feet of 10-inch pipeline and pressure
regulation consisting of a 4-inch pressure control valve and associated
6-inch piping. Panhandle states that Springfield CWL&P will own and
operate these proposed facilities.
Panhandle advises the proposed facilities will initially be
utilized to deliver up to 40,000 Dt per day of natural gas to
Springfield CWL&P. Panhandle states the pipeline will be designed to
deliver up to 75,000 Dt per day at a maximum allowable operating
pressure of 850 p.s.i.g. Panhandle states the proposed facilities will
be located entirely on its existing right-of-way.
Panhandle indicates that Springfield CWL&P will reimburse them 100
per cent for the costs and expenses incurred for installing the tap and
appurtenant facilities and for installing Springfield CWL&P's proposed
facilities. Panhandle estimates the total costs to construct these new
facilities to be approximately $1,174,000.
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 Sec. 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
