South Georgia Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 19, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 8, 1999, South Georgia Natural Gas 
Company (South Georgia), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, 
filed in Docket No. CP99-199-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to abandon a pipeline 
lateral located in Gadsden County, Florida, under the blanket 
authorization issued in CP82-548-000 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 application 
may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 
208-2222 for assistance.
    South Georgia states that it constructed and installed the two-inch 
pipeline lateral to provide interruptible transportation service to the 
Floridin Company, Inc. (Floridin) in Gadsden County, Florida. South 
Georgia was notified by the Englehard Corporation (Englehard) in a 
letter dated October 12, 1998 that Englehard had purchased Floridin. In 
the letter, Englehard stated that the Jamieson Plant has been out of 
operation for decades and that all remnants of the Jamieson plant had 
been removed. Englehard also stated that all of its gas requirements 
are met at an alternate site and that it has no present or future 
requirements for natural gas transportation services through the 
pipeline lateral, and has requested that South Georgia abandon the 
pipeline lateral in place. No other customers are presently receiving 
service from the pipeline lateral under any South Georgia rate schedule 
and the abandonment will have no adverse impact on South Georgia's 
pipeline system. The proposed abandonment of the pipeline lateral is 
not prohibited by any existing tariff of South Georgia.
    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 Commisison'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.
