PECO Energy Company v. Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation, 
Notice of Complaint

June 7, 1996.
    Take notice that on June 3, 1996, PECO Energy Company (PECO Energy) 
tendered for filing a complaint against Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern.) PECO Energy requests that the Commission 
order Texas Eastern to provide service on Line 1-A of the Philadelphia 
Lateral so that: PECO Energy can meet 1996-1997 winter heating 
requirements on its system.
    Specifically, PECO Energy states that it has sought increased 
deliverability off the Philadelphia Lateral due to increased load 
growth. Texas Eastern originally offered to build a new lateral 
adjacent to Line 1-H of the Philadelphia Lateral at a cost in excess of 
$30 million.
    Accordingly to PECO Energy it subsequently discovered that there 
was an existing lateral adjacent to Line 1-A. Line 1-A is an existing 
certificated facility. Texas Eastern neither has requested nor received 
abandonment authorization for Line 1-A.
    PECO Energy further states that Texas Eastern then offered to make 
Line 1-A available for service but only on the condition that PECO 
Energy pay Texas Eastern $4.58 million for hydrostatic testing and a 
regulating facility. PECO Energy avers that Texas Eastern is 
responsible for such costs given the certificated status of Line 1-A, 
and that PECO Energy should be responsible only for the cost of two new 
delivery points.
    PECO Energy states that it has served copies of the complaint by 
express delivery to representatives of Texas Eastern.
    Texas Eastern shall file any answer to the complaint with the 
Commission on or before July 3, 1996 in accordance with Section 385.213 
of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before July 3, 1996. Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection. Answers to this complaint shall be 
due on or before July 3, 1996.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
