[Docket No. CP97-221-000]
Texas Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Petition to Amend
February 12, 1997.
Take notice that on January 31, 1997, Texas Gas Transmission
Company, (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304,
filed in Docket No. CP97-221-000, a petition to amend the certificate
of public convenience and necessity issued on June 2, 1980 in Docket
No. CP80-196, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA),
and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, to construct and operate facilities at the Midland No. 3
Compressor Station located at the Midland Gas Storage Field in
Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Texas Gas seeks to increase the horsepower at its Midland No. 3
Compressor Station by uprating the currently installed Cooper Bessemer
GMVH-10M engine. Specifically, Texas Gas would increase the maximum
horsepower output from 2,250 horsepower to 2,610 horsepower at 40
degrees Fahrenheit and below. Texas Gas avers that the additional
horsepower will aid Texas Gas in meeting peak day requirements but will
not increase the maximum daily withdrawal capability at the Midland Gas
Storage field.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before March 5, 1997, 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 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 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 section 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
