[Docket No. CP97-104-000]
CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application for
Abandonment
November 25, 1996.
Take notice that on November 19, 1996, CNG Transmission Corporation
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in
Docket No. CP97-104-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for
[[Page 63836]]
permission and approval to abandon 1.3 miles of small diameter
gathering pipeline, authorized by CNG's blanket certificate in Docket
No. CP82-537-000, by sale to American Refining and Exploration Company
(AR&E), all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
CNG relates that the 1.3 miles, composing 6 blanket-certificated
lines, are a part of its sale to AR&E of 177 miles of gathering
facilities, which includes: approximately 175.7 miles of uncertificated
gathering lines, three filed compressor stations, and other non-
jurisdictional production properties located in Clearfield, Elk, and
Cameron Counties, Pennsylvania. CNG requests that the Commission make a
determination of the non-jurisdictional nature of the facilities and
AR&E operations of the gathering lines and compressors following the
sale to AR&E.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before December 16, 1996,
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 and 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 in any proceeding herein 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 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 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 to be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
