(1982).

    ANR proposes to abandon in place Unit 107, with appurtenances, 
located on ANR's system at ANR's Jena CS in La Salle Parish, Louisiana. 
This unit was installed under the authority granted in CP70-183.\2\ ANR 
intends to abandon Unit 107 because it is not needed to provide 
service, is oversized for current flows, and such abandonment will save 
on maintenance costs. The proposed abandonment activity will not 
involve ground disturbance or increases to operational air or noise 
emissions. The unit was not used to provide service to any of ANR's 
customers for over two years. The estimated cost to replicate the 
11,000 rated horsepower compressor unit proposed to be abandoned is 
$24,684,000.
