Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP94-705-000
Application; Centra Pipelines Minnesota Inc.
August 10, 1994.
Take notice that on August 8, 1994, Centra Pipelines Minnesota Inc.
(Centra Minnesota), 200 Yorkland Boulevard, North York, Ontario, Canada
M2J 5C6, filed on Docket No. CP94-705-000 an application pursuant to
Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act requesting authority to construct a
new delivery tap and appurtenant facilities in order to directly supply
an existing customer of Northern Minnesota Utilities (NMU), as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
Centra Minnesota states NMU, an existing customer of Centra
Minnesota, has requested Centra Minnesota to provide such service
because it would be uneconomical for NMU to serve the customer from its
distribution system. Centra Minnesota requests that the Commission
issue an order granting such authority by August 21, 1994, so that the
construction can take place over Labor Day weekend, September 3-5,
1994, at which time a major customer of NMU and/or Centra Minnesota
Ontario, both of which are Centra Minnesota's customers, will shutdown
for maintenance, and throughput on the Central Minnesota system will be
at the low point for the year.
Specifically, Centra Minnesota proposes to construct a high
pressure service tap, 30 feet on 2-in pipeline, a two-inch valve and
meter downstream from the pressure regulator station that will be
install by NMU. Centra Minnesota advises that the proposed facilities
will cost approximately $9,000 to construct and Centra Minnesota will
be responsible for all costs involved. Centra Minnesota states that
such facilities will be constructed within an existing right of way and
will not result in an increase in the quality of gas that Centra
Minnesota is authorized to transport on behalf of NMU. Centra Minnesota
further states that no additional revenue will be generated by this
service.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before August 25, 1994, 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 jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulation Commission by Sections 3 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 advised,
it will be unnecessary for Centra Minnesota to appear or be represented
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary
