Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 13, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 7, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, TX 77251-1478, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-171-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.216) for authorization to abandon a leased compressor unit, under 
Koch Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430, 
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.
    Koch Gateway proposes to abandon, by returning to the lessor, a 
1200 horsepower skid-mounted compressor unit located on its Index 201 
low pressure pipeline system at its existing Hecker Compressor Station 
yard in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Koch Gateway states that it 
installed this unit as part of its low pressure lateral system for the 
purpose of lifting additional gas supplies from its low pressure system 
to its higher pressure system and ultimate delivery to the Lake Charles 
market area. Koch Gateway states that it will no longer need the 
compressor unit once its transportation contract with Union Pacific 
Resource Company (UPRC) expires in May of 1998. Koch Gateway also 
states that the proposed abandonment will have no impact on any of its 
existing customers, since this compressor unit was placed in service 
for UPRC.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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,
Acting Secretary.
