[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 3 (Monday, January 6, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 745] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-113] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP97-158-000] Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization December 30, 1996. Take notice that on December 17, 1996, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company (Panhandle), Post Office Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in Docket No. CP97-158-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to upgrade the Indiana Gas Company, Inc.'s (Indiana Gas) Bloomingdale Meter and Regulation Station, an existing delivery point located in Parke County, Indiana. Panhandle makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-83-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Panhandle proposes to replace certain inefficient and undersized facilities with more efficient upgraded facilities so as to allow increased pressure at this delivery point. The proposed facility upgrade is classified as minor, above ground modifications, which will include the upgrade of internal components of the regulators, such as removing the current 500 psi maximum spring in the pilot of each of the four 3-inch Mooney regulators and replacing it with a 400-900 psi range spring. It is stated that such facility upgrade is proposed to increase the maximum capacity of the Bloomingdale meter station to approximately 23,700 Mcf per day, and increase the operating pressure from 275 psig to 500 psig. Panhandle indicates that the increased service availability will be provided within Indiana Gas' existing entitlements. The estimated cost of upgrading the proposed facilities is $5,000. Panhandle states that Indiana Gas will reimburse the cost of the facilities. 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 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.
