Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
June 19, 1998.
Take notice that on June 9, 1998, Tuscarora Gas Transmission
Company (Tuscarora), 1575 Delucchi Lane, Suite 225, Post Office Box
30057, Reno, Nevada 89520-3057, filed in Docket No. CP98-600-000 a
request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's
Regulations (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA)
for authorization to operate an existing tap, meter station and
appurtenant facilities constructed under the authorization of Section
311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) in Washoe County,
Nevada, for transportation services by Tuscarora, under Tuscarora's
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP93-685-000, pursuant to
Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request that
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Tuscarora proposes to operate the existing 6-inch tap, meter and
appurtenant facilities to serve U.S. Gypsum Company's (USGC) Empire
plant. It is stated that USGC has recently converted its Empire plant
to burn natural gas rather than fuel oil as the primary fuel in its
wallboard manufacturing process. Tuscarora states that it has been
transporting up to 1,550 Dt equivalent of natural gas per day to USGC
under its Section 311 authorization. The cost of the proposed
facilities is estimated at $134, 000. It is stated that USGC has
constructed approximately 64 miles of 6-inch pipeline to connect its
Empire plant to Tuscarora's pipeline, and that Tuscarora plans to
purchase up to 26 miles of this line and will seek Commission
authorization for acquisition and operation. It is further asserted
that no customers of Tuscarora have been or will be adversely affected
by the proposed authorization for the facilities and that such
authorization will have no effect on Tuscarora's ability to make
deliveries to its existing customers.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 1547.205 of
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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
