[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 38 (Monday, February 26, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 7097] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-4210] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. CP96-179-000] Pacific Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization February 20, 1996. Take notice that on February 8, 1996, Pacific Gas Transmission Company (PGT), 2100 Southwest River Parkway, Portland, Oregon 97201, filed in Docket No. CP96-179-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to install a new tap and meter set near Moyie Springs, Idaho for delivery of gas to The Washington Water Power Company (WWP), under PGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-530-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. According to PGT, WWP requested that a 2-inch tap and meter set with appurtenant facilities be constructed to allow WWP an additional supply point for its Bonners Ferry distribution system. These needed facilities will let WWP provide more reliable service to the Moyie Springs and Bonners Ferry area which has been experiencing supply disruptions from flooding on the Kootenai River. PGT states that the facilities will be located immediately adjacent to PGT's existing right-of-way near Moyie Springs on land owned by WWP. The station will consist of a fenced and graveled yard, an 8-by-16 foot building housing gas pressure regulation and metering facilities, approximately 150 feet of 2-inch buried pipe and a slab-mounted gas heater. Construction will be from April 1, 1996 to June 1, 1996. The proposed tap will have no impact on PGT's peak day or annual deliveries and there is sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to existing customers. 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.
