ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 18, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 7, 1996, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed a prior notice 
request with the Commission in Docket No. CP97-87-000 pursuant to 
Section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA) for authorization to construct and operate a 2-inch turbine 
meter at its Donnellson meter station and to abandon its Cal Spray 
meter station, both in Lee County, Iowa, under ANR's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-480-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request which is open to 
the public for inspection.
    ANR proposes to construct a 2-inch turbine meter at the Donnellson 
meter

station in Lee County and to operate the facility under Section 7 of 
the NGA. ANR states that the proposed turbine meter at the Donnellson 
meter station would enable ANR to accommodate greater winter flow rates 
than the existing 2-inch positive displacement meter can currently 
handle. ANR delivers natural gas to MidAmerican Energy Company 
(MidAmerican) at this meter station. ANR further states that the 
proposed annual quantities of natural gas that would be delivered at 
the Donnellson meter station would not affect the installation of the 
proposed 2-inch turbine meter. ANR estimates that it would cost $28,200 
to construct the proposed 2-inch turbine meter.
    ANR also proposes to abandon its Cal Spray meter station \1\ 
(located on the Donnellson meter station site) which consists of two 6-
inch orifice meters. ANR states that it no longer needs these 
facilities, because MidAmerican no longer serves Chevron Chemical 
Company's (Chevron) anhydrous ammonia plant at this location. Following 
Chevron's closing of the anhydrous ammonia plant, MidAmerican 
eliminated its tie-in with ANR at the Cal Spray meter station.

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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn
