[Docket No. CP98-14-001]
Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Amendment
February 12, 1998.
Take notice that on February 6, 1998, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in
Docket No. CP98-14-001 an amendment to the pending application filed on
October 9, 1997, in Docket No. CP98-14-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for permission and approval to abandon
service to Southern Union Gas Company (Southern Union), all as more
fully set forth in the amendment which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
By the pending application in Docket No. CP98-14-000, Northern
proposes to abandon by sale to PG&E-TEX, L.P. (PG&E), facilities
located in the Permian Area of West Texas, consisting of 250 miles of
pipeline ranging from 6-inch to 24-inch in diameter, nine compressor
units located at two compressor stations, treating and dehydration
facilities, all delivery points located along the length of the
pipelines to be abandoned, and all appurtenant facilities.
In the subject amendment, Northern states that the individually
certificated services with Southern Union, authorized by order issued
September 20, 1989, in Docket No. CP89-14-000 (48 FERC para. 61,325
(1989)), was inadvertently omitted from Northern's request for
abandonment of service in the original application. Northern states
that the July 14, 1988, agreement between Northern and Southern Union
provides for the sale of up to 1,100 Mcf per day of natural gas to
Southern Union for resale to the City of McCamey, Texas; however, no
service has been provided to Southern Union under this agreement since
Northern's implementation of Order No. 636 on November 1, 1993.
In addition, subject to the terms of a third amendment to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement of the facilities, the price of the
facilities to be sold to PG&E is reduced from $19,250,000 to
$18,250,000.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said amendment should on or before March 5, 1998, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
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
[[Page 8184]]
Rules. All persons who have heretofore filed need not file again.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
