Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

[Docket No. CP98-75-000]
November 17, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 7, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-
1188, filed in Docket No. CP98-075-000 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 authorization to upgrade an 
existing meter station in Lake County, Florida, under FGT's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 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.
    The meter station is currently being used to deliver gas to TECO 
Peoples Gas (TECO), and the upgrade is necessary to accommodate an 
increase in hourly peak demands from 142 MMBtu to 272 MMBtu of natural 
gas, as indicated by FGT. Specifically, FGT proposes to upgrade the 
subject meter station by replacing the existing 4-inch meter bypass 
spool with an 4-inch Ansi Class 150 Senior meter tube at an estimated 
cost of $30,000 of which TECO would reimburse FGT. FGT states that the 
proposed upgrade would not increase contractual deliveries to TECO 
above the currently authorized levels of firm service.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of

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 therefore, 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Secretary.
