DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-248-000]
Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
March 2, 1998.
Take notice that on February 23, 1998, Texas Gas Transmission
Corporation (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky
42304, filed in Docket No. CP98-248-000 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 permission and approval to
abandon, by removal, the Madison (Locust Creek) delivery meter station
located on Texas Gas' mainline system in Carroll County, Kentucky.
Texas Gas makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-407-000 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.
Texas Gas states that the Locust Creek delivery meter station was
constructed in 1950 under Docket No. G-859, to provide Indiana Gas
Company, Inc. (Indiana Gas), a local distribution company, with service
for Indiana Gas' Madison, Indiana market area. It is stated that
Indiana Gas has requested that the Locust Creek delivery meter station
be removed as unnecessary since the shipper receives deliveries from
Texas Gas at the newly constructed Moorefield delivery point in
Switzerland County, Indiana. The Moorefield delivery point now provides
service to the same market area that the Locust Creek delivery meter
station has traditionally served.
It is therefore averred that service to Indiana Gas will not be
affected by the
[[Page 11233]]
abandonment of the Locust Creek delivery meter station.
Specifically, Texas Gas proposes to remove two 4-inch meter runs
and related piping, meter building and flow measurement equipment, at
an estimated removal cost of $11,000.
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
