[Docket No. CP97-138-000]
Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Application
December 11, 1996.
Take notice that on December 5, 1996, Columbia Gulf Transmission
Company (CGT), 2603 Augusta, Suite 125, Houston, Texas 77210-4621,
filed in Docket No. CP97-138-000, an application pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon an
exchange interconnection and related facilities with Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Company (Tennessee), which were authorized in Docket No. CP64-
141, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
CGT proposes to abandon an exchange interconnection with Tennessee
located in La Salle Parish, Louisiana. CGT states that the facilities
proposed for abandonment were constructed in 1965 as an emergency
[[Page 66271]]
interconnection between the pipeline systems of CGT and Tennessee. CGT
asserts that as a result of existing operations of the pipeline systems
and the existence of a similar emergency interconnection located in
Rowan County, Kentucky, the facilities proposed for abandonment are no
longer needed. CGT further asserts that the proposed abandonment will
have no impact on any existing customer.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference
to said application should on or before January 2, 1997, 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 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 therein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment
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 provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will
be unnecessary for CGT to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
