    Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation, et al.; Natural Gas 
    Certificate Filings
    
    June 27, 1994.
        Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
    Commission:
    
    1. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation
    
    [Docket No. CP94-619-000]
    
        Take notice that on June 21, 1994, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
    Corporation (TGPL), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in 
    Docket No. CP94-619-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
    Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a transportation 
    service for Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G), which was 
    authorized in Docket No. CP79-389, as amended, all as more fully set 
    forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        TGPL proposes to abandon firm and interruptible transportation 
    carried out under its Rate Schedule X-222 for PSE&G. TGPL is authorized 
    to transport up to 75,000 dt equivalent of natural gas per day (or a 
    greater amount if mutually agreed upon) on an interruptible basis for 
    PSE&G and up to 6,600 dt equivalent of natural gas per day on a firm 
    basis. Both firm and interruptible services were for transportation 
    from offshore and onshore Louisiana to various delivery points in New 
    Jersey. PSE&G has notified TGPL of its intent to terminate the service 
    under Rate Schedule X-222 with an effective date of June 22, 1994. It 
    is stated that the service proposed for abandonment would be replaced 
    by TGPL's existing Part 284 transportation on an interruptible service 
    under TGPL's Rate Schedule IT. It is asserted that PSE&G can receive 
    equivalent service this way with the same quality and flexibility as 
    other Rate Schedule IT shippers.
        Comment date: July 18, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
    F at the end of this notice.
    
    2. ANR Pipeline Company Columbia Gulf Transmission Company
    
    Docket No. CP94-623-000
    
        Take notice that on June 22, 1994, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 500 
    Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, and Columbia Gulf 
    Transmission Company (Columbia Gulf), P. O. Box 1273, Charleston, West 
    Virginia 25325, filed in Docket No. CP94-623-000, a joint application 
    pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the 
    Commission's Regulations for an order permitting and approving the 
    abandonment of a natural gas exchange service known as ANR's (formerly 
    Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company) Rate Schedule X-39 and as 
    Columbia Gulf's Rate Schedule X-15, all as more fully set forth in the 
    application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        ANR and Columbia Gulf state that this exchange service, authorized 
    by an October 26, 1973, order in Docket No. CP74-39, provides for an 
    exchange to take place when a shortage of gas exists on either 
    company's system, which could be alleviated by deliveries of gas from 
    the system of the other company. ANR and Columbia Gulf state the points 
    of exchange are at an interconnection in Eugene Island Block 250, off-
    shore Louisiana, and at an interconnection near Calumet, St. Mary 
    Parish, Louisiana. ANR and Columbia Gulf maintain there is no 
    abandonment of any facilities pursuant to the instant application.
        ANR and Columbia Gulf relate that on August 17, 1993, Columbia Gulf 
    gave ANR written notice of its intention to terminate the exchange 
    service.
        Comment date: July 18, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
    F at the end of this notice.
    
    3. Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation
    
    [Docket No. CP94-624-000]
    
        Take notice that on June 23, 1994, Texas Eastern Transmission 
    Corporation (Texas Eastern), 540 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 
    77056-5301, filed in Docket No. CP94-624 a request pursuant to 
    Sec. Sec. 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
    Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205, and 157.211) for authorization 
    to construct a new delivery point to enable Texas Eastern to deliver 
    natural gas to GATX Terminals Corporation (GATX), end user. It is 
    stated that it would enable Texas to make natural gas deliveries to 
    GATX under Texas Eastern's blanket certificate issued on November 5, 
    1982 in Docket No. CP82-535-000, all as more fully set forth in the 
    request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        Pursuant to Section 157.211 of the Commission's regulations, Texas 
    Eastern requests authorization to install a new delivery point in order 
    to deliver natural gas under the agreement covering service for GATX 
    under Rate Schedule IT-1 of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Volume No. 
    1, and that Texas Eastern's existing tariff does not prohibit the 
    additional volumes. Texas Eastern states that the peak and average day 
    deliveries at the point would be 5,000 Dth per day.
        Texas Eastern states that the installation of the delivery point 
    will have no effect on Texas Eastern's peak day or annual deliveries. 
    Texas Eastern submits that its proposal will be accomplished without 
    detriment or disadvantage to Texas Eastern's other customers.
        The delivery point to be installed by Texas Eastern includes the 
    installation of two 2-inch taps on Texas Eastern's 12-inch Line Nos. 1-
    C and 1-R at M.P. 2.63 in Richmond County, New York. The approximate 
    cost of such facilities is $551,500 and would be 100% reimbursable by 
    GATX.
        It is further stated that GATX would cause to be installed a dual 
    2-inch meter station, including 50 feet of 4-inch pipeline between the 
    proposed Texas Eastern taps to GATX's proposed meter station and 
    electronic gas measurement equipment.
        Comment date: August 11, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
    Paragraph G at the end of this notice.
    
    Standard Paragraphs
    
        F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
    file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 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 and/or permission and approval 
    for the proposed abandonment are 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 advised, 
    it will be unnecessary for applicant to appear or be represented at the 
    hearing.
        G. 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 therefor, 
    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 
    and not withdrawn 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.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
