Take notice that on February 22, 1994, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket
No. CP94-243-000, a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of

Gas System, Inc. (Peoples). FGT proposes to upgrade the meter station
by installing a high pressure rotary meter and related appurtenant
facilities. The meter station is located at milepost 6.7 on FGT's 6-
inch Orlando Lateral in Orange County, Florida. FGT also states that
Peoples shall reimburse it for all costs relating to the proposed
upgrade which is estimated to be $11,500.
It is further stated that the proposed upgrade would not change the
certificated levels of service currently being provided to Peoples by
FGT. Nor would the proposed upgrade increase contractual gas
quantities. Therefore, the proposed upgrade would not impact FGT's peak
day or annual deliveries. The present and proposed quantity to be
delivered at the Orlando division is: up to 32,520 MMBtu per day and up
to 8,808,900 MMBtu per year. It is stated that the end-use would be
