[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 210 (Tuesday, October 31, 1995)] [Notices] [Pages 55373-55374] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-26916] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. CP95-650-002] Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment to Application October 25, 1995. Take notice that on October 20, 1995, Questar Pipeline Company (Questar Pipeline), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in Docket No. CP95-650-002 a second amendment to its application in Docket No. CP95-650-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), seeking authority to abandon certain certificated facilities by transfer to Questar Gas Management Company (QGM), all as more fully set forth in the amendment that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Questar Pipeline proposes, by this amendment, to include in the assets to be transferred to QGM: (1) Jurisdictional Lateral No. 17 (JL No. 17), comprising 14,585 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline, and associated metering and regulating facilities, originally referred to as the Dry Piney Exchange Station, and (2) the Riley Ridge M&R Station, comprising one 2-inch and one 6-inch meter run, various valves and appurtenant facilities located in Section 12, Township 27 North, Range 114 West, Sublette County, Wyoming. It is stated that the gross plant investment values for JL No. 17 and the Riley Ridge M&R Station, as of May 31, 1995, are $88,381 and $64,615, respectively. Questar Pipeline explains that this amendment is submitted in response to the intervention and protest filed by Exxon Company, U.S.A. (Exxon), in this proceeding on September 6, 1995. It is further explained that Questar Pipeline concurs with Exxon's assertions that Questar Pipeline's 8-inch, 2.76-mile JL No. 17 and associated facilities should more properly be classified as gathering because JL No. 17 connects Questar Pipeline's Dry Piney gathering system with two Williams Field Services' gathering laterals. Questar Pipeline asserts that, upon receipt of the requested authorizations, QGM will own and operate these facilities as part of its nonjurisdictional gathering system, exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction under NGA Section 1(b). Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said amendment to the application should on or before November 15, 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 [[Page 55374]] 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 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 Questar Pipeline to appear or be represented at the hearing. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary.
