[Docket No. CP96-99-000]
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Notice of Application
December 11, 1995.
Take notice that on December 6, 1995, Natural Gas Pipeline Company
of America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148,
filed in Docket No. CP96-99-000, an application pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's (Commission) Regulations thereunder, requesting authority
to abandon by sale to High Plains Gathering System, LLC (``High
Plains''), a non-affiliate, certain certificated facilities that, along
with certain other non-certificated facilities, comprise the High
Plains system of Natural, currently owned and operated by it in Eastern
Colorado (the ``System'').
Natural states that, if the abandonment authorization sought herein
is granted, Natural will be requesting, in a subsequent NGA Section 4
filing, to terminate the services which it has performed by means of
the System. All of the System will be sold to High Plains for $750,000
dollars. Natural is requesting the prompt issuance of an order granting
the abandonment sought herein so that Natural may be relieved of
certain gas purchase obligations that are being assigned to High Plains
in connection with the sale of these facilities.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before January 2, 1996, 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 proceedings. 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 the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
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 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 Natural to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
