[Docket No. CP97-563-000]
Michigan Gas Storage Company; Notice of Application
June 12, 1997.
Take notice that on June 6, 1997, Michigan Gas Storage Company
(Applicant), 212 West Michigan Avenue, Jackson, MI 49201, filed in
Docket No. CP97-563-000, an application pursuant to Section 7c of the
Natural Gas Act for a certificate to construct and operate certain
pipeline facilities in the Cranberry Lake Storage Field and
authorization pursuant to Section 7b of the Natural Gas Act for
abandonment of certain pipeline facilities being replaced, as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open for public inspection.
Specifically, Applicant requests Commission authorization to
replace and upgrade 1.3 miles of 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch piping which
makes up Lateral 63 East of Applicant's Cranberry Lake Storage Field
located in Winterfield Township and Summerfield Township, Clare County,
Michigan.
It is stated that the existing 6-inch and 4-inch piping segments
would be replaced with 8-inch and 2-inch piping segments, respectively,
and the 8-inch segment of the lateral would be made piggable. The
purpose of this project is to replace corroded sections of pipe and
allow for cleaning and inspection of the lateral with pigging devices.
Applicant estimates the cost of replacing the piping at
approximately $257,400. Applicant proposes to recover the construction
and operation costs of the piping replacement in a future Section 4
rate filing with the Commission, on a rolled-in basis.
Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference
to said application should, on or before July 3, 1997, file with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a petition
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 protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to the proceeding or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein must file a petition 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
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 petition 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 authority requested is required by the public convenience and
necessity. If a petition 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.
