[Docket No. CP99-583-000]
Portland Natural Gas Transmission System; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
July 20, 1999.
Take notice that on July 14, 1999, Portland Natural Gas
Transmission System (Portland Natural Gas), One Harbour Place,
Portsmouth, New Hampshire 03801, filed in Docket No. CP99-583-000 a
request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for
authorization to add a delivery point near mile post 0.48 on the
Newington lateral, for G-P Gypsum Corporation (G-P Gypsum) in
Newington, New Hampshire. Portland Natural Gas makes such request under
its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP96-249-000 pursuant to
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the
request on file with the Commission. The filing may be viewed on the
web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for
assistance).
Communications concerning this filing should be addressed to: J.
Marc Teixiera, Vice President of Engineering and Operations, Portland
Natural Gas Transmission System Operations Co., LLC, 603-427-2410.
Specifically, the proposed facilities will consist of approximately
235 feet of 4-inch pipe and a metering facility, that will extend from
the existing tap at the Newington lateral to a meter station to be
built by G-P Gypsum, which will house the proposed metering facility.
Portland Natural Gas indicates that its tariff does not prohibit the
installation of the proposed facilities, and that G-P Cypsum is
providing all funding for the facilities required for the proposed
delivery point, so there will be no cost to Portland Natural Gas or its
existing customers. It is averred that G-P Gypsum, who is presently
served by Northern Utilities, Inc., a local distribution company, has
constructed for 4,000 Dt of IT service from Portland Natural Gas.
[[Page 40363]]
It is stated that the Newington lateral is part of the Joint
Facilities owned by both Portland Natural Gas and Maritimes & Northeast
Pipeline, L.L.C. (Maritimes). Portland Natural Gas indicates that it
has already constructed the facilities necessary for a tie-in to the
Newington lateral pursuant to Commission authorization in Docket No.
CP99-110-000, issued on December 31, 1998. It is therefore indicated
that Portland Natural Gas will own the proposed delivery point and that
Maritimes, as the operator of the Joint Facilities, will be the
operator of the proposed delivery point.
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 157.205 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
therefore, 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 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,
Secretary.
