    Commission:
    
    1. Colorado Interstate Gas Company
    
    [Docket No. CP94-304-000]
    
        Take notice that on March 22, 1994, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
    (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket 
    No. CP94-304-000 a request pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the Commission's 
    Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for 
    authorization to construct a new delivery and receipt facility, under 
    CIG's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-21-000 pursuant to 
    section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
    request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        CIG proposes to construct a new delivery and receipt facility to be 
    located in Carbon County, Wyoming. The facilities, it is said, would be 
    constructed for Williams Field Services--Rocky Mountain Region Company 
    (Williams) for the purpose of delivering gas to its new processing 
    facility and the receipt of gas by CIG from Williams. CIG states that 
    the estimated capacity of the proposed delivery facility is 30,000 Mcf 
    of natural gas per day.
        Comment date: May 16, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
    at the end of this notice.
    
    2. Wisconsin Natural Gas Company, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 
    America
    
    [Docket No. CP94-308-000]
    
        Take notice that on March 28, 1994, Wisconsin Natural Gas Company 
    (Wisconsin Natural), 233 Lake Avenue, Racine, Wisconsin 53401 and 
    Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural), 701 East 22nd 
    Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148, jointly referred to as Applicants, 
    filed in Docket No. CP94-308-000 a joint application pursuant to 
    sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Commission's Regulations under the 
    Natural Gas Act for (a) permission and approval for Wisconsin Natural 
    to abandon pipeline facilities by sale to Natural and (b) a certificate 
    of public convenience and necessity authorizing Natural to acquire and 
    operate such facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application 
    which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
        Wisconsin Natural states that it is a Wisconsin corporation engaged 
    in the distribution of natural gas to sales and transportation 
    customers in the state of Wisconsin subject to regulation by the Public 
    Service Commission of Wisconsin (Wisconsin Commission). Wisconsin 
    Natural explains that effective January 1, 1994, Wisconsin Southern Gas 
    Company (Wisconsin Southern), also engaged in the distribution of 
    natural gas to sales and transportation customers in Wisconsin, was 
    merged into Wisconsin Natural. Wisconsin Natural states that in 
    reviewing the property owned by Wisconsin Southern prior to the merger, 
    it became aware of the fact that Wisconsin Southern owned 160 feet of 
    10-inch pipe located in the state of Illinois between the Wisconsin-
    Illinois border and a meter station owned by Natural in McHenry County, 
    Illinois. Wisconsin Natural states that gas to the southern part of 
    what was Wisconsin Southern's system is delivered by Natural through 
    this meter station and that this service is continuing to Wisconsin 
    Natural following the merger.
        Wisconsin Natural states that the 160 feet of pipe in Illinois is 
    on an easement held by Natural, that the pipe was constructed in 1961 
    by Wisconsin Southern under authority granted by the Wisconsin 
    Commission and that no customers are served from the pipe in Illinois.
        Wisconsin Natural explains that the situation described, i.e., a 
    Wisconsin distributor owning pipe in Illinois, is unintentional and, as 
    current owner of the pipe, it seeks approval to abandon the pipe by 
    sale to Natural at the pipe's net depreciated value of approximately 
    $40.
        Natural requests authority to acquire and operate the pipe in 
    interstate commerce as a part of its system. Applicants explain that no 
    service to any customers will be terminated as a result of the 
    transaction and that Wisconsin Natural will receive gas from Natural at 
    the Wisconsin-Illinois border instead of at Natural's meter station in 
    McHenry County, Illinois.
        Comment date: April 21, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
    F at the end of this notice.
    
    3. Southern Natural Gas Company
    
    [Docket No. CP94-313-000]
    
        Take notice that on March 29, 1994, Southern Natural Gas Company 
    (Southern), Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed 
    in Docket No. CP94-313-000, a request pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
    Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for 
    authorization to construct and operate a delivery point, pipeline, 
    metering and appurtenant facilities for service to Alabama Gas 
    Corporation (Alagasco), under the authorization issued in Docket No. 
    CP82-406-000 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more 
    fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
    open to public inspection.
        Southern proposes to construct and operate certain measurement and 
    other appurtenant facilities in order to provide transportation service 
    to Alagasco at a delivery point for use so that Alagasco may provide 
    natural gas service to a new Alabama Power Company peaking plant in 
    Greene County, Alabama. Southern states that the meter station will 
    consist of four 12-inch orifice meters, one 6-inch turbine meter and 
    other appurtenant facilities. It is stated that Southern proposes to 
    locate the facilities at or near Mile Post 135.575 of its South Main 
    Lines in Marengo County, Alabama. Southern states that Alagasco will 
    own the facilities and Southern will construct and operate them at 
    Alagasco's expense. It is estimated that the cost of the construction 
    and installation of Southern's tap and interconnection facilities is 
    approximately $338,200. It states that Alagasco has agreed to reimburse 
    Southern for the cost of the facilities.
        Southern states that it will transport gas on behalf of Alagasco 
    pursuant to its Rate Schedules FT and IT. It is stated that Alagasco 
    does not propose to add any transportation demand to its firm service 
    as a result of the addition of the delivery point. It is estimated that 
    the average annual volumes for delivery at the new point will be 1,852 
    Mmcf which is equivalent to an estimated daily average of 5,073 Mcf. 
    Southern states that the installation of the proposed facilities will 
    have no adverse effect on its peak day or annual requirements.
        Comment date: May 16, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
    at the end of this notice.
    
    4. ANR Pipeline Company
    
    [Docket No. CP94-315-000]
    
        Take notice that on March 29, 1994, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 500 
    Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. CP94-
    315-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
    Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Secs. 157.7 and 157.18 of the Federal 
    Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations thereunder, for 
    permission and approval to abandon a natural gas transportation service 
    for Bridgeline Gas Distribution Company (Bridgeline), all as more fully 
    set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
    open to public inspection.
        ANR states that it proposes to abandon transportation service for 
    Bridgeline pursuant to an agreement dated July 19, 1983, as amended, 
    designated as Rate Schedule X-149 under Original Volume No. 2 of ANR's 
    FERC Gas Tariff. ANR states that the service was authorized in Docket 
    Nos. CP84-462-000 and CP84-462-001, as amended in Docket No. CP90-214-
    000. It is indicated that the agreement underlying the service was to 
    remain in effect for an initial period of ten years. It is also 
    indicated that at the end of the initial period, Bridgeline would have 
    the option to extend the term for an additional two years. ANR states 
    that the initial period expired January 25, 1994, and was not extended 
    by Bridgeline. Accordingly, ANR requests permission to abandon the 
    service designated as Rate Schedule X-149. No facilities are proposed 
    to be abandoned.
        Comment date: April 21, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
    F at the end of this notice.
    
    Standard Paragraphs
    
        F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
    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 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 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 a grant of the certificate and/or permission and approval 
    for the proposed abandonment are 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 applicant to appear or be represented at the 
    hearing.
        G. 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 Sec. 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.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
