[Docket No. CP-403-000]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application for
Abandonment
May 7, 1998.
Take notice that on April 29, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company
(NGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston Texas 77210-4455 filed in Docket
No. CP98-403-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for an
order permitting and approving the abandonment of certain pipeline
facilities in Panola County, Texas, all as more fully set forth in the
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
[[Page 26590]]
Specifically, NGT proposes to abandon Line ST-17, composed of
approximately 374 feet of 8-inch pipe, in the W.C. Gray Survey A-245 in
Panola County, Texas. NGT says this line was constructed in 1982 and
certificated in Docket No. CP91-400, to receive gas supply from the
discharge side of the Champlin Compressor Station and deliver it
through an interconnection with Texas Gas Transmission Corporation. NGT
indicates that as a result of changes in its business, this
interconnection is no longer needed and has not been utilized for an
extensive period.
NGT plans to abandon Line ST-17, in its entirety, along with an 8-
inch dual meter run, 6-inch dual regulatory, and above ground
appurtenant equipment. NGT relates that it will reclaim a 63 foot
segment of ST-17 starting at the yard piping in the Champlin Compressor
Station yard and abandon in place the remaining 311 feet of pipe. NGT
says the 63 feet of pipe will be junked and the cost to reclaim this
pipe is estimated to be $2,370.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before May 28, 1998, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
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 385.211 and 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 the protestants parties
to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party in any
proceeding herein 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 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 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 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 NGT to appear or to be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
