Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

December 2, 1994.
    Take notice that on November 23, 1994, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed 
a prior notice request with the Commission in Docket No. CP95-99-000 
pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to replace existing 
turbochargers with larger capacity turbochargers and associated 
equipment at Compressor Station No. 505 in Somerset County, New Jersey, 
under Transco's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000 
pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is open to the public for inspection.
    Transco proposes to replace existing turbochargers with larger 
capacity turbochargers and associated equipment on eight compressor 
engines in order to reduce Nox emissions at its Compressor Station 
No. 505 in Somerset County. Transco states that the increased air-to-
fuel ratio, higher heat capacity, and other engine adjustments would 
reduce the Nox emissions.
    Transco asserts that because the engines already operate at maximum 
horsepower and cannot operate at a higher horsepower output, 
replacement of the existing turbochargers with larger capacity 
turbochargers would not enable the engines to perform above their 
current operating horsepower. Thus, the larger capacity turbochargers 
would not increase capacity on Transco's system in the vicinity of 
Compressor Station No. 505. Transco estimates that it would cost 
$9,458,000 to replace the turbochargers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 Sec. 157.205 of the Regulations 
under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest 
is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 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 NGA.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
