DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-798-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
October 1, 1998.
Take notice that on September 24, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-
1188, filed in Docket No. CP98-798-000 a request pursuant to Sections
157.205, 157.212 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR
157.205, 157.212, and 157.216) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for
authorization to replace an existing tap, regulator station, meter
station and connecting pipeline, all located in Leon and Wakulla
Counties, Florida, under FGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No.
CP82-553-000, pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
FGT proposes to abandon an existing regulator station and
connecting pipe in Leon County, Florida, installed to deliver gas to
the City of Tallahassee (Tallahassee) for its Purdom Plant, and to
construct a new delivery tap on its 36-inch mainline, a new regulatory
station and less than 50 feet of 12-inch connecting pipeline in Leon
County. FGT also proposes to abandon an existing meter station and
approximately 300 feet of 12-inch connecting pipeline in Wakulla
County, Florida, and to construct a new meter station and connecting
pipeline in
[[Page 53890]]
Wakulla County. FGT states that the proposed abandonment and
replacement of facilities is necessitated by the expansion of the
Purdom Plant in Wakulla County, which requires the relocation of the
Purdom Station.
It is asserted that FGT will deliver up to 2,400 MMBtu equivalent
of natural gas per hour to Tallahassee. It is estimated that the
construction cost of the proposed facilities will be approximately
$1,600,000, inclusive of tax gross-up. It is asserted that FGT will be
reimbursed by Tallahassee for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the construction. It is explained that the proposed
deliveries will come from existing volumes within existing
transportation contracts and will not impact FGT's existing peak day or
annual deliveries and will not disadvantage FTG's other existing
customers.
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,
Secretary.
