Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 18, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 11, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Koch Gateway), Post Office Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-
1478, filed in Docket No. CP98-127-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to operate in 
interstate commerce certain facilities previously constructed and 
operated to effectuate transportation service pursuant to Section 311 
of the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA). Koch Gateway makes such request, 
under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000 
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, Koch Gateway states that it constructed the 2-inch 
tap and dual 2-inch meter station under Section 311 of the NGPA, on 
behalf of Mississippi Valley Gas Company (Mississippi Valley), a local 
distribution company in Rankin County, Mississippi. Koch Gateway avers 
that the cost of constructing the tap, approximately $83,000 was fully 
reimbursed by Mississippi Valley. Koch Gateway further states that 
certification of this point as a jurisdictional facility will provide 
Mississippi Valley with additional flexibility in obtaining gas 
supplies, thus enabling Mississippi Valley to receive gas shipped to 
this point pursuant to jurisdictional open-access transportation 
agreements as well as Section 311 agreements.
    The estimated peak day requirement for this delivery point is 1,300 
MMBtu. It is indicated that the gas volumes will be transported 
pursuant to Koch Gateway's No Notice Service (NNS) Transportation Rate 
Schedule. Koch Gateway avers that it has sufficient capacity to render 
the proposed service without detriment or disadvantage to its 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.

Secretary.
