[Docket No. CP95-285-000]
Paiute Pipeline Co.; Notice of Application
April 5, 1995.
Take notice that on March 27, 1995, Paiute Pipeline Company
(Paiute), P.O. Box 94197, Las Vegas, Nevada 89193-4197, filed in Docket
No. CP95-285-000 an application pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural
Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR Part 157) for a certificate of public convenience and
necessity authorizing Paiute to construct and operate two compressor
stations on its Elko Lateral, in order to increase its capacity by
1,496 Dth/d to provide additional delivery point flexibility to
Southwest Gas Corporation-Northern Nevada (Southwest-Northern Nevada),
all as more fully set forth in the application which is file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Paiute proposes to:
(1) Install a 1,339 H.P. turbine driven compressor at milepost
61.45 on the Elko Lateral in Lander County, Nevada; and
(2) Relocate the existing 360 H.P. reciprocating compressor
presently located at milepost 137.2 on the Elko Lateral to milepost
110.1 in Eureka County, Nevada.
Paiute states that the estimated cost of the proposed facilities is
$4,119,500. Paiute intends to finance the cost of construction through
ongoing regular financing programs and internally generated funds.
Paiute states that it has entered into a transportation service
agreement with Southwest-Northern Nevada under which it would increase
its billing determinants for such shipper by 1,496 Dth/d under Paiute's
Rate Schedule FT-1. Paiute proposes that the rates for the additional
service to be provided to Southwest-Northern Nevada by means of the
proposed facilities be designed using an incremental facilities
surcharge in Rate Schedule FT-1 applicable to Southwest-Northern
Nevada, under which the cost and revenues related to the construction
of the additional compression facilities on the Elko Lateral will be
considered on an incremental cost basis.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before April 26, 1995, 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
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 protestants
parties to the proceedings. 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 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 is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, which requires a formal hearing, 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 Paiute to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
