[Docket No. CP97-241-000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
February 20, 1997.
Take notice that on February 11, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Company (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251,
filed in Docket No. CP97-241-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct, own, and
operate a new sales tap, located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, to
Tosco Refining Company (Tosco), a refiner of crude oil products, under
Transco's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000,
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
Transco proposes to construct, own, and operate a sales tap to
Tosco consisting of a 6-inch valve assembly, a meter station with two
6-inch meter runs, and other appurtenant facilities, located in
Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Transco states Tosco will construct, or
cause to be constructed, appurtenant facilities to enable it to receive
gas from Transco at such point and move the gas to Tosco's refinery
facilities.
Transco asserts the new sales will be used by Tosco to receive up
to 24,000 Mcf of gas per day from Transco on a capacity release,
secondary firm or interruptible basis. Transco declares upon completion
of the sales tap, they will commence transportation service to Tosco or
its suppliers pursuant to Transco's Rate Schedules FT, FT-R, or IT and
Part 284(G) of the Commission's Regulations. Transco states the
addition of the sales tap will have no significant impact on their peak
day or annual deliveries, and is not prohibited by Transco's FERC Gas
Tariff.
Transco states the estimated total cost of their proposed
facilities to be approximately $375,000, which Tosco will reimburse
Transco for all costs associated with such facilities.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor,
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
