[Docket No. CP96-369-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application
May 6, 1996.
Take notice that on April 30, 1996, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (Florida Gas), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed
in Docket No. CP96-369-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of
the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations.
Florida Gas seeks an order authorizing the abandonment of its
transportation service with Washington Gas Company (Washington Gas),
known as Rate Schedule X-7. Florida Gas's request is more fully set
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
Florida Gas says that in letter agreement dated December 17, 1984,
it and Washington Gas have agreed to terminate the transportation
service effective December 31, 1984. The transportation service had
been rendered by Florida Gas under a transportation service agreement
dated June 24, 1975, see Docket No. CP76-71, 56 FPC 463 (1976). This
service agreement was designated as Rate Schedule X-7 in Florida Gas's
Original Volume No. 3 of its FERC Gas Tariff. Florida Gas says that the
proposed abandonment will not result in the abandonment of facilities
nor will it result in the abandonment of service to any other customers
of Florida Gas.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before May 24, 1996, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that 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 Florida Gas to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
