[Docket No. CP99-74-000]
CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application for
Abandonment
November 23, 1998.
Take notice that on November 13, 1998, CNG Transmission Corporation
(CNG) 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in
Docket No. CP99-74-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to partially abandon by
sale to the People's Natural Gas Company, (Peoples) certain
certificated natural gas facilities, all as more fully set forth in the
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, CNG proposes to abandon by sale to Peoples
approximately 4200 feet of pipeline, known as TLNG-461, and located in
Beaver County, Pennsylvania. CNG states that CNG purchased TLNG-461
(42.3 miles of 14 inch pipe) from Laurel Pipeline Company in 1986 but
did not use TLNG-461 from 1986 through 1990. CNG also states that in
1990, CNG placed 9.1 miles of TLNG-461 in-service pursuant to 18 CFR
Section 157.208, and reported the in-service as part of the annual
report filing for CNG in Docket No. CP82-537 filed on February 20,
1992.
CNG asserts that currently it is not utilizing this section of
TLNG-461 and it has no customers located on, or downstream of this
section of TLNG-461.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before December 14, 1998,
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 175.10). 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 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 CNG to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
