[Docket No. CP97-263-000]
Ashland Exploration, Inc.; Notice of Application
March 24, 1997.
Take notice that on March 21, 1997, Ashland Exploration, Inc.
(Ashland), 14701 Saint Mary's Lane, Houston, Texas 77079, completed the
filing of an abbreviated application for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas
Act initially submitted on February 24, 1997. Ashland requests
authorization to modify its remaining Martha Field pipeline facilities
to accept the interconnection of a tap with the facilities to be
constructed by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) and to
install and operate compression associated with the Tennessee tap.
Ashland also requests modification of its current certificate authority
to deliver gas from Kentucky to West Virginia for sale to Mountaineer
Gas Company to permit it to deliver gas to any buyer, all as more fully
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and
open to the public for inspection.
The remaining Martha Field pipeline facilities consist of
approximately 6.9 miles of pipeline in the State of Kentucky which
terminates in the State of West Virginia, approximately 6,000 feet from
Ashland's Catlettsburg, Kentucky refinery.
Any persons desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before April 14, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
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 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 the
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 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 the request should be granted. 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 Ashland to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
