[Docket No. CP97-507-000]
Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Application to
Abandon
May 14, 1997.
Take notice that on May 5, 1997, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Company (Applicant), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas, 77251-1642, filed
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to
abandon by removal, six compressor units and related facilities located
at Applicant's Adams Compressor Station, in Texas County,
[[Page 27599]]
Oklahoma, all as more fully described in the application on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Applicant proposes to abandon the six compressors at the Adams
Compressor Station, because there has been a significant drop in gas
well head pressures which the Compressors were designed to handle.
Production rates from the gas reservoirs in the area upstream of the
Adams Compressor Station have been declining and no additional
production is expected. The compressor units to be abandoned total
3,532 horsepower. Applicant states that the remaining compressor units
at the Adams station can provide compression requirements in the
future.
Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference
to said application should on or before June 4, 1997, 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 Protesters 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
Regulation 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds
that permission and approval of 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
