[Docket No. CP98-762-000]
ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
September 14, 1998.
Take notice that on September 4, 1998, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR),
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No.
CP98-762-000 a request pursuant to Sections 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 operate under the provisions
of Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act an existing interconnection in
Beaver County, Oklahoma, that was constructed pursuant to Section 311
of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. ANR makes such request under its
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-480-000 pursuant to
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGPA), all as more fully set forth in
the request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
ANR states that in February 1998, it constructed and placed into
service an interconnection, Land O' Lakes Interconnection, with the
facilities of Land O' Lakes, Inc., in Beaver County, Oklahoma. It is
stated that ANR's interconnection facilities consist of a 2-inch
positive displacement meter, a meter building, two 2-inch insulating
flanges, a 4-inch tap valve, and an electronic measurement system. ANR
avers the cost of the facilities as approximately $71,700.00 which was
fully reimbursed by Land O' Lakes. ANR indicates that the Land O' Lakes
Interconnection is designed to accommodate flow rates from 0 MMcf daily
to 0.4 MMcf daily. ANR further states that the Land O' Lakes
Interconnection was constructed pursuant to the authority of NGPA
Section 311, and that said construction
[[Page 49905]]
will be reported in ANR's 1998 annual report of NGPA Section 311
construction.
ANR states it delivers natural gas at the Land O' Lakes
Interconnection under its Rate Schedule ITS, and that the, on behalf
of, entity for whom natural gas is transported at that interconnection
is Transok, Inc., an intrastate pipeline company located in Tulsa,
Oklahoma. It is further stated the pursuant to Section 284.102(d)(3) of
the Commission's regulations, ANR received the, on behalf of,
certification from its shipper by a letter submitted on November 20,
1997.
ANR indicates that the authorization that it is seeking in this
request, will eliminate the current restriction on its usage, i.e., to
qualifying transactions under NGPA Section 311, thereby providing
greater service flexibility and choices for the market. It is stated
that the operation of the Land O' Lakes Interconnection will have no
adverse impact on annual entitlement of any of ANR's existing
customers. ANR further states that the authorization to operate this
existing interconnection, under the provisions of Section 7 of the NGA,
will not impact ANR's gas supply situation and that deliveries of
natural gas at this point can be made without detriment or disadvantage
to any existing customer of ANR.
It is stated that the volumes to be delivered are within the
certified entitlement of the customer.
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.

Secretary.
