    Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request 
    Under Blanket Authorization
    
    April 11, 1997.
        Take notice that on March 26, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
    Company (Transco), 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, 
    Texas 77251-1396, filed in Docket No. CP97-307-000 a request pursuant 
    to Sections 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216 of the Commission's 
    Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212, 
    157.216) for authorization to expand an existing delivery point to 
    South Carolina Pipeline Corporation (SCPC) and to remove pipeline at 
    the Grover Meter Station, located in Cleveland County, North Carolina, 
    under Transco's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000, 
    pursuant to Section 7(c) 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.
        Transco proposes to expand the Grove Meter Station, an existing 
    delivery point to SCPC, by (1) Installing a 16-inch main line tap and 
    approximately 800 feet of new 16-inch pipe to the Grove Meter Station 
    and retiring 800 feet of 10-inch pipe, (2) retiring, replacing, and 
    expanding the Grove Meter Station piping, odorization system, and other 
    appurtenances, and (3) constructing 1,791 feet of 16-inch pipeline loop 
    from the Grove Meter Station outlet to a tie-in with SCPC's pipeline at 
    the North Carolina/South Carolina state border, all located in 
    Cleveland County, North Carolina, to be referred to as the Grove Meter 
    Station Expansion.
        Transco states it currently delivers up to 70,000 Dth per day to 
    SCPC at the Grove Meter Station. As a result of the expansion proposed 
    herein, Transco declares the capacity of the Grove Meter Station will 
    be increased to 200,000 Dth per day. Transco asserts it has sufficient 
    delivery flexibility to accomplish such additional deliveries without 
    detriment or disadvantage to its other customers.
        Transco states the estimated cost to construct the Grove Meter 
    Expansion to be $1,056,736, with SCPC reimbursing Transco for all costs 
    associated with the project.
        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.
    Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
    Acting Secretary.
