[Docket No. CP97-690-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application
August 15, 1997.
Take notice that on August 8, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002 filed in Docket
No. CP97-690-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) and 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval for FGT to reroute and/
or relocate and abandon a portion a 24-inch mainline located in
Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in the
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, FGT requests an order be issued authorizing one
reroute and two relocations totaling approximately 18,370 feet of 24-
inch mainline located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. FGT states that
the purpose of the reroute and/or relocation is to comply with the
safety requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation, which
requires heavier wall pipe due to the proximity of new residential and
commercial construction in the vicinity of FGT's mainline. FGT proposes
to abandon in place, the three sections of 24-inch pipeline that will
be taken out of service. FGT estimates the total cost of the proposal
to be approximately $3,762,161.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before September 5, 1997,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
20426, a motion to
[[Page 44467]]
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
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 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 FGT to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
