Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request for
Waiver of FERC Gas Tariff
January 30, 1998.
Take notice that on January 27, 1998, Texas Eastern Transmission
Corporation (Texas Eastern) tendered for filing a request for waiver of
Section 1, Availability, of Rate Schedule SCT (Small Customer
Transportation) included in Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth
Revised Volume No. 1 to provide service to the Village of East Cape
Girardeau, Illinois and Surrounding areas.
Texas Eastern states that, although Texas Eastern does not intend
to expand generally the availability of Rate Schedule SCT service,
Texas Eastern believes a waiver is warranted based on the facts in this
instance. Texas Eastern states that East Cape Girardeau does not
currently receive gas service and Texas Eastern is the closest and only
economically available source of pipeline capacity to serve East Cape
Girardeau and surrounding areas. Texas Eastern states that since the
volume of service requested is de minimus compared to Texas Eastern's
aggregate capacity entitlements, Texas Eastern's existing customers
will not be detrimentally impacted.
Texas Eastern requests that the Commission approves this request
for waiver on or before April 1, 1998, in order to provide certainty
that natural gas service will be available to East Cape Girardeau and
surrounding areas commencing on November 1, 1998 when the next heating
season begins.
Texas Eastern states that copies of its filing have been served on
all firm customers of Texas Eastern and interested state commissions.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in
accordance with Sections 3785.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed
on or before February 6, 1998. Protests will be considered by the
Commission 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 must file a motion to intervene. Copies of
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for
public inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
