2. Southern Natural Gas Company
[Docket No. CP94-785-000]
Take notice that on September 16, 1994, Southern Natural Gas
Company (Southern), Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama, 35202-
2563 filed in Docket No. CP94-785-000 a request pursuant to Sections
157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to construct and
operate a new point of delivery in Effingham County, Georgia, under
Southern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000,
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
Specifically, Southern proposes to construct and operate certain
measurement and other appurtenant facilities at or near Mile Post 95 on
its Wrens-Savannah Lines in Effingham County, George in order to
provide transportation service to Atlanta Gas Light Company (Atlanta)
so that Atlanta may provide natural gas service for peaking purposes to
Savannah Electric and Power Company.
Southern estimates the cost of the proposed facilities to be
constructed by Southern to be $1,801,209 and it advises that Atlanta
has agreed to reimburse Southern for the cost of the construction.
Additionally, Southern states that it will provide service to
Atlanta at the new deliver point, the AGL-Plant McIntosh, under
Atlanta's existing Service Agreements with Southern pursuant to
Southern's Rate Schedules FT and IT. Southern also states that Atlanta
does not propose to add any transportation demand to its firm service
as a result of the addition of the delivery point. Southern further
advises that, because the gas will be delivered primarily in the
summer, the installation of the proposed facilities will have no
adverse effect on Southern's ability to provide its peak day or annual
deliveries.
Comment date: November 4, 1994, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.
3. Colorado Interstate Gas Company and MIGC, Inc.
[Docket No. CP94-780-000]
Take notice that on September 15, 1994, Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (``CIG''), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado
80944, and MIGC, Inc. (``MIGC''), 12200 N. Pecos Street, Denver,
Colorado 80234, filed a joint abbreviated application pursuant to
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for an order granting permission
and approval to abandon the transportation and exchange of natural gas,
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
CIG and MIGC state that they propose to abandon the Gas
Transportation and Exchange Agreement (``Agreement'') dated May 28,
1981, as amended, constituting CIG's Rate Schedule X-48 of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Original Volume No. 2, and MIGC's Rate Schedule TE-1 of its
FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1. These rate schedules
provide for the transportation and exchange of natural gas supplies
which are remote from one Party's system, but proximate to the other
Party's system. CIG and MIGC both have open access certificates and
operate under Order No. 636. Therefore, the certificate for the above
transportation and exchange service, previously authorized by the
Commission (21 FERC 61,203), is no longer required.
CIG and MIGC further state that they do not propose to abandon any
facilities as a result of the authorization requested.
Comment date: October 11, 1994, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.
Standard Paragraphs
F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before the comment date,
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 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

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 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 and/or permission and 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 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.
G. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule

intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 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.
