[Docket No. CP96-627-000]
Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
July 12, 1996.
Take notice that on July 8, 1996, Questar Pipeline Company
(Questar), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in
Docket No. CP96-627-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act for authorization to increase the Maximum Authorized
Operating Pressure (MAOP) on its Main Lines (M.L.) Nos. 1 and 13
between the Eakin Compressor Station and the Coalville Compressor
Station and to restage the Eakin No. 5 compressor, all as more fully
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
Questar proposes to increase the MAOP from 700 psig to 860 psig
following replacement of the pipelines under Section 2.55 of the
Commission's Regulations. Questar proposes to restage the compressor in
order to more fully utilize the increased capacity resulting from the
increase in MAOP. It is asserted that the proposals would result in an
increase in firm capacity of 20,000 dt equivalent of natural gas for
Salt Lake City and other metropolitan areas along the Wasatch Front. It
is estimated that the cost of the restage would be $184,000, with an
additional $310,000 for a gas cooler to be installed under Section 2.55
authorization. It is stated that there would be no cost associated with
the increase in MAOP.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before August 2, 1996, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 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. 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.
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 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 advise,
it will be necessary for Questar to appear or to be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
