[Docket No. CP99-545-000]
Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request To Modify
Operation of Compressor Station
June 9, 1999.
Take notice that Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern Natural)
1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed on June 3,
1999, for certificate authorization to modify the operation of its
Earlville Compressor station. Northern Natural seeks to operate this
compressor station at 15,000 horse power (hp) rather than 14,000 hp at
which it is currently operated. Northern Natural states that the
proposed modification will increase operational flexibility and
capacity on the East Leg segment of its pipeline system. Northern
estimates that the cost of this proposal will be $25,000, to be
financed with internally generated funds. Northern Natural's proposal
is more fully set forth in its application which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on
the web at http://www.ferc.us/online/rims.htm. Call 202-208-2222 for
assistance.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to this application should on or before June 30, 1999, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20426, a protest or a motion to intervene 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
proceedings. 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 Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission on this application
if no protest is filed within the time required herein. At that time,
the Commission, on its own review of the matter, will determine whether
granting the Certificate is required by the public convenience and
necessity. If a protest or 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 Northern Natural to appear or to be
represented at the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
