    [Docket No. CP94-233-000]
    
    
    Chandeleur Pipe Line Co.; Application
    
    February 22, 1994.
        Take notice that on February 14, 1994, Chandeleur Pipe Line Company 
    (Chandeleur), P.O. Box 740339, New Orleans, LA 70174, filed in Docket 
    No. CP94-233-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 
    Gas Act for a certificate of public convenience and necessity 
    authorizing the increase of maximum operating pressures and total 
    system maximum capacity of its pipeline, all as more fully set forth in 
    the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        Chandeleur states that it consists of a 79.9 mile 12-inch mainline, 
    a parallel 82.3 mile 16-inch mainline (which loops the 12-inch line) 
    and an 11.3 mile 12-inch lateral gas supply pipeline. The maximum 
    operating pressure of the 12-inch mainline is 1100 psig. The maximum 
    operating pressure of the 16-inch mainline 1000 psig. The maximum 
    operating pressure of the 12-inch lateral is 1318 psig. The current 
    authorized system capacity is 205,000 Mcf per day, with maximum 
    capacity of 240,000 Mcf per day.
        Specifically, Chandeleur requests authorization to increase the 
    maximum operating pressures of both its 12-inch and 16-inch mainlines 
    to 1200 psig. Chandeleur states that it has recently completed a new 
    interconnection with Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation's 
    (``TETCO'') 24-inch mainline in offshore Louisiana in OCS Breton Sound 
    Block 42 for the purpose of allowing Chandeleur's shippers to transport 
    gas into TETCO's system, thereby increasing the shippers' delivery 
    options. Chandeleur states that TETCO's maximum operating pressure is 
    1200 psig. To allow delivery of natural gas from Chandeleur into 
    TETCO's 24-inch mainline when TETCO is operating at maximum pressure, 
    Chandeleur states that its maximum operating pressure must match 
    TETCO's and therefore must be increased to 1200 psig.
        Chandeleur states that the requested increase in pressure to 1200 
    psig is within maximum allowable operating pressures for Chandeleur's 
    pipeline as established by the Department of Transportation.
        Chandeleur states that the requested increase in operating pressure 
    and maximum capacity will allow its current and future shippers to 
    increase the amount of gas they can transport to existing markets and 
    to new markets which are not now economically accessible through 
    Chandeleur.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before March 3, 1994, file 
    with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 and 18 
    CFR 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 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 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 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 Chandeleur to appear or be represented at 
    the hearing.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
