[Docket No. CP99-578-000]
Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application To
Abandon
July 20, 1999.
Take notice that on July 13, 1999, Texas Eastern Transmission
Corporation (Tetco), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston Texas 77056-5310,
filed under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to
abandon by sale to Duke Energy Field Services Inc., (Duke) the Bennet
Ranch line, the Kenedy Ranch Lateral and the Humble Sarita Lateral.
These facilities are located in Brooks, Jim Hogg and Kenedy Counties,
Texas, all as more fully described 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.
The name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom
correspondence and communications concerning this Application should be
addressed is: S.E. Tillman, Director of Regulatory Affairs, Texas
Eastern Transmission Corporation, P.O. Box 1642 Houston, Texas 77251-
1642, (713) 627-5113, (713) 627-5947 (Fax).
The facilities proposed for sale access supplies of natural gas
from production fields in Kenedy, Jim Hogg and Brooks Counties Texas.
Tetco states that the facilities are underutilized and that Duke
proposes to sell them at a net book value of $395,975, plus incidental
costs of transfer not to exceed $25,000. Duke proposes to use the
facilities to gather production and has advised Tetco that it will
either arrange to purchase production from wells currently attached to
the facilities or enter into gather arrangements with rates comparable
to those currently being charged by Tetco.
Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference
to said application should on or before August 10, 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 Protesters 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds
that permission and approval of the proposed abandonment are required
by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to
intervene it 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 Tetco to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
