Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
January 17, 1997.
Take notice that on January 10, 1997 and supplement January 15,
1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478,
Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in Docket No. CP97-189-000 a request
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Sections
157.205, 157.211, 157.216(b) for authorization to upgrade a town border
station serving the City of Madisonville (Madisonville) in St. Tammany
Parish, Louisiana under Koch Gateway's NNS-SCO Rate Schedule, and to
abandon certain facilities in Madisonville. Koch Gateway makes such
request, under Koch Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No.
CP82-430-000 pursuant to 18 CFR Part 157, Subpart F of the Natural Gas
Act, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with
the Commission and open for public inspection.
Koch Gateway proposes to upgrade an existing 2-inch meter station
and abandon by removal the facilities being replaced. Koch Gateway
further proposes to install the new metering and regulating facilities
at an existing town border station on its lateral line, designated as
Index 301 in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana to satisfy Madisonville's
request for increased pressure. Koch Gateway states that the volumes
proposed to be delivered to Madisonville would be pursuant to Koch
Gateway's blanket transportation certificate authorized in Docket No.
CP88-6-000 and under Koch Gateway's NNS-SCO Rate Schedule.
Koch Gateway states that the revised meter station would allow Koch
Gateway to increase delivery pressure by approximately 30 psig which
will help Madisonville better operate its distribution system. It is
stated that the estimated cost of construction is $33,000, and
Madisonville has agreed to reimburse Koch Gateway the cost of
installing the new facilities.
Koch Gateway further states the proposed activities, being no
notice in nature, will not affect Koch Gateway's ability to serve its
other existing customers. No change in the service level is proposed.
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.
