[Docket No. CP03-330-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
July 25, 2003.
Take notice that on June 30, 2003, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee), tendered for filing in Docket No. CP03-330-000, an
application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as
amended, and part 157 of the regulations of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission), requesting that the Commission
issue an Order authorizing Tennessee's re-acquisition of capacity
entitlement granted to Gulf Oil Corporation (Gulf), predecessor to
Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (Chevron), and the abandonment of exchange service
established under Rate Schedule T-139 between Tennessee and Gulf.
Tennessee states that upon issuance of the Commission's Order
authorizing Tennessee's re-acquisition of the capacity entitlement and
abandonment of the associated rate schedule, Chevron and Tennessee plan
to execute the exhibits to an agreement to exchange and transfer
assets. Pursuant to the agreement and exhibits, Tennessee is to abandon
by sale its interest in VK Pipelines in exchange for Chevron's
abandonment of capacity entitlement in Tennessee's Project Sabine
Pipeline and from a portion of Tennessee's capacity entitlement in
Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporations' Southwest Louisiana
Gathering System. Tennessee's abandonment of its interest in the VK
Pipelines will be accomplished under its Blanket Certificate and will
facilitate Chevron's and Tennessee's plans to consolidate offshore
holdings.
Any questions concerning this application may be directed to
Jacques Hodges, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, call (832) 676-5509,
fax (832) 676-2251.
This filing is available for review at the Commission or may be
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number filed to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at FERC
OnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free at (866) 206-3676, or, for
TTY, contact (202) 502-8659. Comments, protests and interventions may
be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
intervenors to file electronically.
There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to
intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding.
However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.

If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying a
certificate will be issued.
Comment Date: August 8, 2003.
Linda Mitry,
Acting Secretary.
