Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 20, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 13, 1998, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-17-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211 
and .216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization to upgrade the 
Central Illinois Public Service (CIPSCO) Quincy M&R Station, an 
existing delivery point located in Adams County, Illinois, under 
Panhandle's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-83-000, 
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.
    Panhandle states that it proposes to replace the regulators 
associated with the existing M&R Station with short lengths of pipe so 
as to allow an increase in pressure from 90 psig to 240 psig. Panhandle 
also states the upgrade facilities will enable the above-ground meter 
runs to deliver natural gas supplies to CIPSCO at a pressure sufficient 
to accommodate CIPSCO's increased customer pressure requirements, and 
that the maximum capacity of the Quincy M&R Station will not change as 
a result of these proposed modifications. Panhandle further states that 
the proposed upgrade of the Qunicy M&R Station will not increase the 
existing firm entitlement of CIPSCO under its currently effective 
service agreements, but will better enable CIPSCO to provide its 
customers with requested delivery pressures.
    Panhandle states the estimated cost to upgrade the existing 
facilities is $11,600, and the CIPSCO will reimburse Panhandle for the 
cost of modification.
    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 National 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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
