Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

November 13, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 4, 1996, Mississippi River 
Transmission Corporation (MRT), whose main office is located at 1600 
Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP97-82-000 a 
request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for 
authorization to abandon and remove an inactive meter and regulating 
station in Iron County, Missouri, under MRT's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-489-000 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.
    MRT proposes to abandon and remove an inactive meter and regulating 
station on Line A-198 in Section 30, Township 34 North, Range 4 East, 
Iron County, Missouri. This inactive delivery tap is not utilized in 
the delivery of natural gas quantities and the company, Pilot Knob 
Pellet Company, served by this metering facility is no longer in 
existence. There is no other existing customer service through this 
meter.
    MRT states that this abandonment is not prohibited by its existing 
tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to continue to render 
transportation service to customers connected to its pipeline system. 
The abandonment will not have an effect on MRT's peak day and annual 
deliveries. The abandonment of these facilities will not require any 
new construction. The line and tap will be abandoned in place and the 
aboveground facilities will be removed.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
