[Docket No. CP97-683-000]
Ozark Gas Transmission; Notice of Application
September 10, 1997.
Take notice that on August 6, 1997, Ozark Gas Transmission System
(Ozark), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in
Docket No. CP97-683-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to construct and operate a
receipt point in Franklin County, Arkansas, all as more fully set forth
in the application on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Ozark proposes to install and operate a receipt point in Franklin
County in order to receive natural gas production into its system.
Ozark states that the proposed receipt point would allow Ozark to
receive an additional 1,500 Dekaterm equivalent of natural gas per day
into its system. Ozark would install approximately 4,500 feet of 4.5-
inch diameter pipe and the necessary metering and tie-in facilities on
its pipeline system. Ozark also states that it would finance the
estimated $71,600 construction cost of the proposed receipt point with
funds on hand.
Ozark states that the natural gas volumes it would receive via the
proposed receipt point are within certificated volumes on Ozark's
system, and the addition of receipt point facilities would be
consistent with
[[Page 48640]]
Ozark's open access tariff and blanket transportation certificate.
Ozark also states that it has filed its request in this proceeding in
compliance with the Stipulation and Agreement issued in Docket No.
CP78-532-000, et al. [(22 FERC para. 61,334 at 61,578 (1983)].
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before October 1, 1997, 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 NGA (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 NGA 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 Ozark to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
