Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP94-682-000]
Southern Natural Gas Company; Application
August 1, 1994.
Take notice that on July 22, 1994, pursuant to Section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's (Commission) Regulations (18 CFR 157.7), Southern Natural
Gas Company (Applicant), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202,
filed an application for a certificate of public convenience and
necessity authorizing the construction, installation and operation of
pipeline, measurement and related appurtenant facilities, as more fully
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
Specifically, Applicant states it has received long-term
commitments for firm transportation service under its FT Rate Schedule
from the Citizens Gas Utility District, Cookeville Gas Department,
Etowah Utilities, Hawkins County Gas Utility, Jefferson-Cocke County
Utility District, Knoxville Utilities Board, Loudon Utilities, Middle
Tennessee Natural Gas Utility District, Oak Ridge Utility District,
Powell-Clinch Utility District and United Cities Gas Company,
hereinafter referred to as ``Customers'', for a total subscription of
11,350 Mcf per day of firm transportation service to the Customers.
Applicant requests authorization to construct, install and operate
approximately 21 miles of 12-inch pipeline and the necessary
measurement facilities to connect its system at or near mile post
101.44 on its Chattanooga Branch Line in Catoosa County, Georgia, with
the facilities of Tenneco East, L.P., in Bradley County, Tennessee.
The estimated cost of the proposed facilities is $6,951,000.
Although a final plan of financing has not been determined, Applicant
states that the costs of construction will be financed initially by
short-term financing and/or available cash from operations, and,
ultimately, by permanent financing. In addition, Applicant requests the
Commission waive all applicable provisions of its tariff and Sec. 284.7
of the Commission's Regulations so that the Customers will not have to
pay any GSR surcharges or transition costs on Applicant's system.
Applicant requests Commission approval of the application by June 1,
1995, so that facilities will be available for service to the Customers
on or before November 1, 1995.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before August 21, 1994, 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 385.211) 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, or 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 Applicant to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
