[Docket No. CP98-657-000]
Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
July 22, 1998.
Take notice that on July 8, 1998, Columbia Gulf Transmission
Company (Columbia Gulf), 2603 Augusta, Suite 125, Houston, Texas 77001,
filed in Docket No. CP98-657-000 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 construct and
operate 7.1 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline and appurtenances and a
new delivery point in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, under Columbia
Gulf's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-496-000, 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.
Columbia Gulf proposes to construct, own and operate the facilities
in order to make deliveries to Entergy Louisiana Inc. (ELI), a retail
electric utility company which has requested transportation service
from Columbia. It is stated that the pipeline facilities will extend
from Columbia Gulf's existing Paradis lateral to an interconnection
with Evangeline Gas Pipeline, L.P., where the new delivery point will
be located. It is asserted that Columbia Gulf will initially deliver up
to 100,000 Dt equivalent of natural gas per day to ELI on an
interruptible basis pursuant to its ITS-2 rate schedule, with firm
service to come later. It is estimated that the cost of the proposed
facilities will be approximately $5,784,800. It is explained that the
proposed deliveries will not impact Columbia Gulf's existing peak day
obligations to its other customers.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the intent 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 therefor,
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest if filed
and not withdrawn
[[Page 40268]]
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.
