Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP97-331-001]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Amendment
May 6, 1998.
Take notice that on April 27, 1998, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251,
filed in Docket No. CP97-331-001, an application as supplemented on May
4, 1998, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part
157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, to amend the certificate of public convenience and
necessity issued in Docket No. CP97-331-000 on January 15, 1998, to
authorize Transco to uprate two compressor units, all as more fully set
forth in the petition on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Transco seeks to uprate compressor units 3 and 4 at its Station 100
in Chilton County, Alabama, from 5,000 horsepower to 6,000 horsepower
each. Transco states that the certificate authorized Transco, among
other things, to re-wheel compressor units 3 and 4 at Station 100.
Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with
reference to said application should on or before May 18, 1998, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
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. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide
copies of their protests to the party or person to whom the protests
are directed. 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.
A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14
copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final
order to a Federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally,
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
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 NGA and the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held
without further notice before the Commission or its designee on these
applications 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, 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 Transco to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
