Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

October 21, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 21, 1998, Transcontinental Pipe Line 
Corporation (Applicant), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas, 77251, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-30-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for approval to construct two new delivery 
taps located in Lincoln County, North Carolina for service to Piedmont 
Natural Gas Company (Piedmont), under Applicant's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the request which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Applicant states that the subject delivery taps for which it now 
seeks blanket certificate construction authorization will be used by 
Piedmont to receive into its local distribution system up to 3,600 Mcf 
per day by Applicant. Applicant further states that it has sufficient 
capacity to accomplish such additional deliveries without detriment or 
disadvantage to Applicant's other customers. Applicant asserts that 
this proposal will have no impact on Applicant's peak day deliveries 
and little or no impact on Applicant's annual deliveries. It is 
indicated that Piedmont's delivery point entitlement and Applicant's 
pressure and firm transportation service obligations for deliveries to 
Piedmont at the subject delivery taps will be governed by the existing 
firm transportation service agreements between Piedmont and Applicant 
and Applicant's FERC Gas Tariff. It is further indicated that the 
estimated total construction cost for the proposal herein is $58,000, 
which Piedmont will be responsible for.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
