[Docket No. CP98-218-000]
Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application To Abandon
February 11, 1998.
Take notice that on February 6, 1998, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed under
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon by sale
to Transok, Inc. (Transok) 37 miles of 8 and 16-inch pipeline and
dehydration facilities in Custer and Roger Mills Counties, Oklahoma.
Northern proposes to sell the facilities to Transok for $3,000,000.
Northern's request is more fully set forth in the application on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically Natural proposes to sell:
1. 14 miles of Northern's 8-inch line extending from the outlet of
the Diamond Shamrock Plant located in Section 5, Township 15N, Range
21W, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma to, and including the Redmoon Dehy
yard located in Section 27, Township 14N, Range 20W, in Custer County,
Oklahoma.
2. 23 miles of Northern's 16-inch line extending from the Northern/
Transok interconnect in Section 33, Township 13N, Range 17W, to a point
in Section 14, Township 12N, Range 14W all in Custer County, Oklahoma.
3. All farm taps, interconnecting points, delivery points and
appurtenant facilities located on the subject facilities. All receipt
points and delivery points located along the length of the facilities.
Northern states that after abandonment Northern's ``Point Catalog''
will be revised to reflect the elimination of the points associated
with the facilities being sold. Northern states further, that its
transportation customers will then nominate transportation service at
the interconnect points between Transok's newly acquired facilities and
Northern's transmission facilities.
Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference
to said application should on or before March 4, 1998, 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 Protesters 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 wihtout further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds
that permission and approval of 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 Applicant to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
