Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before October 11, 1995,

to intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the

approval for the proposed abandonment are 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 formal
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,

[Docket No. CP95-759-000]
East Texas Gas System; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order
September 20, 1995.
Take notice that on September 15, 1995, East Texas Gas Systems
(ETGS), 801 Cherry Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, filed a petition
for a declaratory order in Docket No. CP95-759-000, requesting that the
Commission declare that the facilities to be acquired from Texas Gas
Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas) can be utilized to provide open
access transportation pursuant to Section 311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas
Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) and that the facilities and the services to
be rendered through them will not be subject to the Commission's
Natural Gas Act (NGA) jurisdiction, all as more fully set forth in the
petition on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
ETGS, a Texas general partnership operated by Union Pacific
Intrastate Pipeline Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific
Fuels, Inc. (U.P. Fuels), states that upon the Commission's approval of
Texas Gas' application to abandon facilities by transfer on file with
the Commission in Docket No. CP95-275-000, and upon the issuance of a
declaratory order pursuant to this Petition, Texas Gas will convey to
ETGS approximately 45,361 feet of pipeline and associated appurtenances
(Facilities) located in Panola County, Texas.\1\
\1\ U.P. Fuels is a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific
Resources Company (UPRC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ETGS states that the Facilities consist of approximately 144 feet
of 8\5/8\-inch pipeline and approximately 45,217 feet of 20-inch
pipeline, along with associated appurtenances, originating at the UPRC
operated Carthage Compressor Station and extending to the UPRC operated
East Texas Plant, located in Panola County, Texas.
ETGS states that the Facilities were originally placed into service
by Texas Gas in 1949 and were authorized as part of Texas Gas' Sharon-
Carthage system. ETGS states that the Facilities were eventually leased
to Champlain Petroleum Company, UPRC's predecessor in interest, who
used them to move gas from various producers between the East Texas
Plant and the Carthage Compressor Station for redelivery to various
purchasers.
ETGS states that the Facilities are currently part of the Carthage
Hub market center and are used to provide fuel to the Carthage
Compressor Station and, pursuant to NGPA Section 311, to ship gas from
the multiple interconnect points on the Carthage Hub to points of
interconnect with Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation and Koch
Gateway Pipeline. ETGS states that, upon acquisition of the Facilities,
ETGS will continue to use them in this same manner.
ETGS requests that the Commission permit the proposed abandonment
by Texas Gas and allow the transfer of the Facilities to ETGS. Further,
ETGS requests that the Commission declare that ETGS may continue to
provide NGPA Section 311(a)(2) transportation service through the
Facilities and that the Facilities and services rendered through them,
upon abandonment and transfer to ETGS, will not be subject to the
Commission's NGA jurisdiction.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said petition should on or before October 11, 1995, 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 385.214 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
