DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-338-000, et al.]
Florida Gas Transmission Company, et al.; Natural Gas Certificate
Filings
May 2, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission.
1. Florida Gas Transmission Co.
[Docket No. CP95-338-000]
Take notice that on April 21, 1995, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-
1188, filed in Docket No. CP95-338-000 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 upgrade an
existing meter station under FGT's 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 proposes to upgrade the existing Cane Island Meter Station
(Cane Island) by adding a single 12-inch turbine meter run and related
appurtenant facilities for allowing delivery of up to 6,000 MMBtu per
hour to Kissimmee Utility Authority (Kissimmee). FGT states that the
end-use will be at two power plants downstream of Cane Island. FGT will
deliver the proposed gas quantity on an interruptible basis. FGT states
that there will be no incremental effect on its pipeline system and
there will be sufficient capacity for continuing all services without
detriment or disadvantage to other customers. Cane Island is located in
Township 25 South, Range 27 East, Section 26, Osceola County, Florida.
Kissimmee will reimburse FGT for all directly and indirectly incurred
construction costs. The estimated cost will be between $172,000 without
inclusion of expandability facilities or $220,000 with inclusion of
such facilities. The expandability facilities would be upstream and
downstream measurement headers with two 12-inch risers, blind flanged
for future installation of a second 12-inch turbine meter. FGT is not
adding the second turbine meter at this time, but will request if and
when Kissimmee applies for expansion.
Comment date: June 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
G at the end of this notice.
2. Colorado Interstate Gas Co.
[Docket No. CP95-368-000]
Take notice that on April 27, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas Company
(CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket
No. CP95-368-000 a request pursuant to Section 157.205 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for
authorization to construct a new delivery facility to be located in
Lincoln County, Wyoming, under CIG's blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP83-21-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act,
all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
CIG states that the facility would consist of a tap, approximately
200 feet of 10-inch pipe and facilities appurtenant thereto for the
delivery and receipt of gas to and from Overland [[Page 24622]] Trail
Transmission Company as operator of the Overland Trail/Muddy Creek Hub.
CIG states further that the capacity of the proposed facilities is
approximately 100 Mmcf per day and would cost approximately $64,000 to
construct.
Comment date: June 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
G at the end of this notice.
3. Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership
[Docket No. CP95-375-000]
Take notice that on April 28, 1995, Great Lakes Gas Transmission
Limited Partnership (Great Lakes), One Woodward Avenue, Suite 1600,
Detroit, Michigan 48226, filed an application in Docket No. CP95-375-
000 pursuant to 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity authorizing it to construct and operate a
loop line of a portion of its existing pipeline system, all as more
fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
Great Lakes states that all but 4 percent (approximately 24.5
miles) of its system is looped. In order to gain the benefit of
enhanced system reliability and flexibility, Great Lakes has planned to
fill in the three unlooped segments of its system. Great Lakes notes
that this objective would be implemented in several separate stages.
The subject application, identified as the Security Loop Project, is
the first stage in this process. Great Lakes requests authority to
construct and operate 13.8 miles of 36-inch loop beginning at the
discharge side of Great Lakes' existing Boyne Falls Compressor Station
in Charlevoix County, Michigan (milepost 722.8) and extending to an
interconnect with Great Lakes' existing mainline in Otsego County,
Michigan (milepost 736.6). Great Lakes proposes to place the facilities
in service by November 1, 1996.
Great Lakes estimates that the Security Loop Project will cost
$17,392,000. Although the project will increase mainline capacity by
5,000 Mcf per day, Great Lakes states that it has not offered to
provide any new firm service because the purpose of the project is to
increase system reliability and flexibility for Great Lakes' customers
and to facilitate system maintenance. Great Lakes notes that the
project cost is equivalent to only about 1 percent of its total system
cost and will have an insignificant impact on rates.
Comment date: May 23, 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,

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

accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in

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,

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.
