[Docket No. CP99-267-000]
El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
March 24, 1999.
Take notice that on March 22, 1999, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El
Paso), P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed in Docket No. CP99-
267-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.212) for authorization to certificate and to continue the operation
of an existing delivery point, installed under Section 311(a) of the
Natural Gas Policy Act, under El Paso's blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-435-000 pursuant to Section 7 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. This filing may be viewed on
the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222
for assistance).
El Paso states that the Desert Hills Delivery Point was installed
under Section 311(a) and has exclusively used this delivery point for
the transportation and delivery of natural gas under Part 284, Subpart
B on behalf of Southwest Gas Corporation. El Paso states that the
regulatory restriction placed on the operation of a facility installed
under Section 311(a) of the NGPA prohibits El Paso shippers from
utilizing this delivery point under any transportation arrangement
other than a Subpart B transportation arrangement. In view of this
limited service flexibility, El Paso believes that certification of the
Desert Hills Delivery Point, located in Maricopa County, Arizona,
pursuant to Section 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations, is
necessary and in the public interest. El Paso states that continued
operation of the facility is not prohibited by El Paso's existing
Volume No. 1-A FERC Gas Tariff. El Paso states that is has sufficient
capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment or disadvantage
to El Paso's other 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
