DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-650-002]
Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment to Application
October 25, 1995.
Take notice that on October 20, 1995, Questar Pipeline Company
(Questar Pipeline), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111,
filed in Docket No. CP95-650-002 a second amendment to its application
in Docket No. CP95-650-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA), seeking authority to abandon certain certificated facilities
by transfer to Questar Gas Management Company (QGM), all as more fully
set forth in the amendment that is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
Questar Pipeline proposes, by this amendment, to include in the
assets to be transferred to QGM: (1) Jurisdictional Lateral No. 17 (JL
No. 17), comprising 14,585 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline, and
associated metering and regulating facilities, originally referred to
as the Dry Piney Exchange Station, and (2) the Riley Ridge M&R Station,
comprising one 2-inch and one 6-inch meter run, various valves and
appurtenant facilities located in Section 12, Township 27 North, Range
114 West, Sublette County, Wyoming. It is stated that the gross plant
investment values for JL No. 17 and the Riley Ridge M&R Station, as of
May 31, 1995, are $88,381 and $64,615, respectively.
Questar Pipeline explains that this amendment is submitted in
response to the intervention and protest filed by Exxon Company, U.S.A.
(Exxon), in this proceeding on September 6, 1995. It is further
explained that Questar Pipeline concurs with Exxon's assertions that
Questar Pipeline's 8-inch, 2.76-mile JL No. 17 and associated
facilities should more properly be classified as gathering because JL
No. 17 connects Questar Pipeline's Dry Piney gathering system with two
Williams Field Services' gathering laterals.
Questar Pipeline asserts that, upon receipt of the requested
authorizations, QGM will own and operate these facilities as part of
its nonjurisdictional gathering system, exempt from the Commission's
jurisdiction under NGA Section 1(b).
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said amendment to the application should on or before
November 15, 1995, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 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
[[Page 55374]]
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 Questar Pipeline to appear or be represented
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
