[Docket No. CP94-216-000]
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Application
February 7, 1994.
Take notice that on February 3, 1994, Natural Gas Pipeline Company
of America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148,
filed in Docket No. CP94-216-000 and application pursuant to section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon its
participation in an exchange of natural gas with Arkla Energy Resources
Company (Arkla), which was authorized in Docket No. CP75-141, all as
more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
Natural proposes to abandon its exchange with Arkla under the terms
of an exchange agreement dated July 5, 1974, as amended, on file with
the Commission as Natural's Rate Schedule X-53. It is stated that
Natural and Arkla no longer require the exchange, under which they are
authorized to exchange gas at various points in Texas and Oklahoma.
Natural states that it has received Arkla's agreement to terminate the
exchange in a letter agreement dated August 20, 1993. It is further
stated that Arkla has filed an application for abandonment of its
participation in the exchange in Docket No. CP94-7-000. It is asserted
that no gas has been exchanged under the agreement for several years
and that no imbalances exist. It is stated that no facilities are
proposed to be abandoned.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before February 28, 1994,
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 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 Natural to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
