[Docket No. RP95-370-000]
Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC
Gas Tariff
July 5, 1995.
Take notice that on June 30, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), tendered for filing, under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA), notice of the termination of gathering and transmission services
offered over facilities located in Blaine, Chauteau and Hill Counties,
Montana, effective September 30, 1995. Northern states that on June 6,
1995, the Commission authorized it to abandon, by sale to Havre
Pipeline Company (Havre), the Montana facilities and declared that
these facilities, once acquired by Havre, would be exempt from
Commission regulation under Section 1(b) of the NGA (69 FERC 61,354
(1994). Northern states it was directed to make the instant filing by
the June 6, 1995 order.
Northern states that it is abandoning the facilities because, as a
result of restructuring under Order No. 636, Northern no longer has a
merchant function and does not require these facilities to access
system supplies to fulfill customer obligations. Regarding eleven
customers who received gathering service and the eleven customers who
received transmission service over the Montana facilities (listed in
the filing), Northern states they will be mailed notification of
termination of services, and that notice of the deletion of receipt and
delivery points on the Montana facilities will be posted on Northern's
Electronic Bulletin Board, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
September 30, 1995 termination date. Northern states there were no
protests in the abandonment proceeding; thus Northern is not required
to file a default contract.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a petition to intervene or 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 and 385.211). All such
petitions or protests must be filed on or before July 12, 1995.
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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
