DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-551-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
June 16, 1999.
Take notice that on June 10, 1999, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas
77002, filed in Docket No. CP99-551-000, an application pursuant to
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, for a
certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing Tennessee
to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for
Tennessee's existing La Gloria Line, all as more fully set forth in the
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).
Tennessee proposes to increase the MAOP of its 2.4 mile, 4-inch
diameter Line No. 403A-100 pipeline (referred to as the La Gloria Line)
in Brooks County, Texas, from 765 psig to 891 psig. Tennessee indicates
that the proposed MAOP increase will allow Tennessee to consistently
deliver natural gas supplies received on the La Gloria Line into its
mainline pipeline system. Tennessee further states that the uprate
procedures require no construction.
Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with
reference to said application should on or before July 7, 1999, 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 protestants parties to the
proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide
copies of their protests to the party or person to whom the protests
are directed. 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 NGA 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 is 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
