[Docket No. CP97-257-000]
Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
March 4, 1997.
Take notice that on February 21, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline
Company (Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77521-1478, filed
in Docket No. CP97-257-000 pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas
Act and Section 157.18 of the Commission's Regulations for permission
and approval to abandon approximately 893 feet of 10-inch pipeline and
95 feet of 14-inch pipeline, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Specifically, Koch Gateway seeks to abandon by removal
approximately 150 feet of 10-inch pipeline and 2 feet of 14-inch
pipeline, and abandon in place approximately 743 feet of 10-inch
pipeline and 93 feet of 14-inch pipeline. The pipeline proposed for
abandonment is the northernmost tube of three tubes which run parallel
and are known as the Sabine River Crossing on Koch Gateway's Call
Junction Line, in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana and Newton County,
Texas. Koch Gateway states that the northernmost tube is damaged and
out of service. Further, Koch Gateway says that a 150 foot segment of
the pipeline which would be abandoned is exposed on the east side of
the river.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before March 25, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or 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 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
[[Page 10834]]
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 permission and approval of
abandonment 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 procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Koch Gateway to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
