Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

March 3, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 25, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act and 
Transco's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000, filed 
in the above docket, a request for authorization to construct a sales 
tap to Cherokee County Cogeneration Partners LP (Cherokee), an electric 
cogeneration facility, all as more fully set forth in the request which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Transco states that the sales tap will consist of dual 6-inch valve 
tap assemblies, two 6-inch dual chamber orifice meter tubes with six 
inch valves at each end, a meter station with two 12-inch headers and 
other appurtenant facilities, at or near milepost 1234.07 on Transco's 
mainline in Cherokee County, South Carolina. A single hot tap will be 
made on Mainline ``A'' in the vicinity of this milepost. A welded-tee 
will be placed on the proposed Mainline ``D'' facilities (which line is 
being constructed as part of the SunBelt Project facilities authorized 
in docket No. CP96-16-000 in the same vicinity. Transco states that 
Cherokee will construct, or cause to be constructed, appurtenant 
facilities to enable it to receive gas from Transco at such point and 
move the gas to Cherokee's cogeneration facilities.
    Transco states that the gas delivered through the new sales tap 
will be used by Cherokee as fuel for its electric cogeneration 
processes. Transco further states that Cherokee is not currently a 
transportation customer of Transco, but upon completion of the sales 
tap Transco will commence interruptible transportation service to 
Cherokee pursuant to Transco's Rate Schedule IT and part 284(g) of the 
Commission's Regulations. Transco states that the addition of the sales 
tap will have no significant impact on Transco's peak day or annual 
deliveries, and is not prohibited by Transco's FERC Gas Tariff.
    Transco has estimated the total costs of Transco's proposed 
facilities to be approximately $435.100.00, which Cherokee will 
reimburse Transco for all costs associated with such facilities.
    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 Rules of Practice and Procedure (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 is deemed to be authorized 
effective on 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.
