[Docket No. CP96-164-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.; Notice of Application and Site Visit
February 12, 1996.
Take notice that on January 31, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee), 1010 Milam St., Houston, Texas 77002, filed in
Docket No. CP96-164-000 an application pursuant to Section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act for authority to: (1) Transport up to 90,000 Dth of
natural gas per day on a firm basis for Distrigas of Massachusetts
Corporation (DOMAC); (2) construct and operate facilities to provide
such service; and (3) abandon all or any part of the authorized
facilities or service upon the expiration of the underlying contracts,
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Tennessee proposes to transport gas for DOMAC from
DOMAC's LNG plant in Everett, Massachusetts to fifteen delivery points
in Zone 6 on Tennessee's pipeline system, commencing on November 1,
1998, in the following quantities:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quantity
Date (Dth/
day)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 1, 1998.............................................. 55,000
November 1, 1999.............................................. 70,000
November 1, 2000.............................................. 80,000
November 1, 2001.............................................. 90,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To provide the service, Tennessee proposes to construct and operate
7.54 miles of 20-inch pipeline and related facilities from DOMAC's LNG
plant to a point on Tennessee's Revere lateral in Saugus, Massachusetts
at an estimated cost of $25,871,276.
Tennessee would charge DOMAC its Part 284 rate under Rate Schedule
FT-A for the service, and requests a binding determination from the
Commission that the costs of the facilities will not be rolled-in to
Tennessee's systemwide cost of service for the 15-year term of the
proposed service.
Take further notice that on March 4, 1996, the Office of Pipeline
Regulation staff, accompanied by representatives of Tennessee, will
conduct a site visit to the locations of facilities being proposed a
Tennessee in the DOMAC Project. The proposed facilities are located in
the cities of Revere, Malden and Everett, and the town of Saugus,
Massachusetts. Those planning to attend must provide their own
transportation. For further information, call Ms. Lauren O'Donnell,
(202) 208-0325.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before March 4, 1996, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (888 First Street, NE.,
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
[[Page 6237]]
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 and grant of certificate 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
