DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-311-000, et al.]
East Tennessee Natural Gas Company, et al.; Natural Gas
Certificate Filings
April 18, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. East Tennessee Natural Gas Co.
[Docket No. CP95-311-000]
Take notice that on April 7, 1995, East Tennessee Natural Gas
Company (East Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in
Docket No. CP95-311-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to modify an existing meter
station in Roane County, Tennessee under East Tennessee's blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-412-000 pursuant to Section 7 of
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
East Tennessee proposes to replace an obsolete 6-inch orifice meter
tube with a 4-inch tube at the existing Harriman meter station, #75-
9032, at M.P. 3110-1+8.40 (S.V. 3110B-101) on the 3100-1 Line. This
tube replacement will allow the meter station to better match actual
volumes being delivered. The installation will not be extensive and
will cause minimal disturbance since the replacement tube dimensionally
fits the existing piping arrangement. Total capacity at the meter
station will be approximately equivalent to current levels due to the
reduced operating condition of the existing 6-inch tube. The meter
station will still be owned, operated and maintained by East Tennessee.
The estimated cost is $39,100 to be funded from the appropriate
division's minor capital budget. The firm service customer at the meter
station is the City of Harriman, a municipal utility company that
supplies residential customers. The tube replacement won't affect any
shipper's contract entitlement.
After modification, East Tennessee states there won't be an
increase in the delivery quantity under the firm agreement between it
and the City of Harriman; delivery of volumes through the meter station
won't impact peak day and annual deliveries; the proposed activity
isn't prohibited by its existing tariff, and there is sufficient
capacity for deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other
customers.
Comment date: June 2, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G
at the end of this notice.
2. Florida Gas Transmission Co.
[Docket No. CP95-316-000]
Take notice that on April 11, 1995, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket
No. CP95-316-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205
and 157.216) for permission and approval to abandon a small portion of
an existing lateral line. FGT makes such request, under its blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to Section 7 of
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
FGT is proposing to abandon approximately 6,500 feet of its 6-inch
East Mustang Island Lateral, at an estimated cost of $117,476.
Specifically, FGT is proposing to abandon a 6,400 foot segment of line
in place, 4,500 foot of which is owned by a development corporation,
and 1,900 foot of which is located under a road and the adjacent right-
of-way; the remaining 100 foot segment which crosses a small boat
channel will be removed. It is stated that the portion of line that FGT
is proposing to abandon is located in the areas of East Mustang Island
and Laguna Madre, Nueces County, Texas. FGT states that the abandonment
is necessary due to the encroachment of a residential housing
development. FGT further states that it is proposing to abandon that
segment of line rather than relocating it, because the relocation of
that segment of line would be costly and would disturb an
environmentally sensitive area.
FGT also states that service to its two customers located
downstream of the proposed abandonment, Gulfside Industries, Ltd. and
Valero Industrial [[Page 20490]] Gas, will continue under FGT's SFTS
Rate Schedule and ITS-1 Rate Schedule, respectively, because FGT has
constructed, upstream from the proposed abandonment, a new receipt
point under the automatic authorization of Section 157.208(a) pursuant
to FGT's blanket certificate authorized in Docket No. CP82-553-000.
Comment date: June 2, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G
at the end of this notice.
3. Columbia Gas Transmission
[Docket No. CP95-321-000]
Take notice that on April 12, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West
Virginia 25314-1599 and Columbia Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia
Gulf), of the same address, filed in Docket No. CP95-321-000 a joint
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for
permission and approval to abandon certain transportation services for
Brooklyn Union Gas Company (Brooklyn Union) which were authorized in
Docket No. CP83-331-000, all as more fully set forth in the application
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Columbia and Columbia Gulf propose to abandon transportation
services under Rate Schedules X-117 and X-90, respectively for the
account of Brooklyn Union. Columbia received, on an interruptible
basis, up to 10,000 Dth of natural gas per day in Barbour, Randolph and
Tucker Counties, West Virginia and made it available to Columbia Gulf
for redelivery to Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in
Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana for the account of Brooklyn Union.
Columbia and Columbia Gulf state that the transportation agreement has
been terminated and no volumes have flowed since November, 1984.
Comment date: May 9, 1995, 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,

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

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

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.
