[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 25 (Tuesday, February 7, 1995)] [Notices] [Page 7184] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-2924] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. RP95-140-000] Northern Natural Gas Co., Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff February 1, 1995. Take notice that on January 27, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern), tendered for filing, under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), notice of the termination of gathering services offered over facilities located in Crockett County, Texas, effective February 28, 1995. Northern states that on December 19, 1994, the Commission authorized it to abandon, by sale to Peach Ridge Pipeline, Inc. (Peach Ridge), the Crockett County facilities, and declared that these facilities, once acquired by Peach Ridge, would be exempt from Commission regulation under Section 1(b) of the NGA (69 FERC 61,354 (1994)). Northern states it was directed to make the instant filing by the December 19, 1994 order. Northern states that it is abandoning the facilities because, as a result of restructuring under Order No. 636, Northern no longer has a merchant function and does not require these facilities to access supplies to fulfill customer obligations. Regarding twelve customers who received gathering service over the Crockett County facilities (listed in the filing), Northern states they have been mailed the instant notice of termination of services, and that notice of the deletion of receipt and delivery points on the Crockett County facilities has been posted on Northern's Electronic Bulletin Board. Finally, Northern has listed those customers which have entered into private contracts for continued service with Peach Ridge. Although not all of the twelve customers have entered into such contracts, Northern states there were no outstanding protests in the abandonment proceeding; thus Northern is not required to file a default contract. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be filed on or before February 8, 1995. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
