Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 19, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 15, 1999, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed a 
request with the Commission in Docket No. CP99-318-000 pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act for approval to abandon certain inactive delivery 
facilities, under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
430-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as 
more fully set forth in the request which is open to the public for 
inspection. The application may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Koch Gateway proposes to abandon in place approximately 4,810 feet 
of 4-inch pipeline and abandon by removal approximately 100 feet of 4-
inch pipeline and two 1-inch taps, all located in Lafayette Parish, 
Louisiana. Koch Gateway states that these facilities formerly served 
two farm tap customers on behalf of Reliant Energy Entex, a Division of 
Reliant Energy Resources Corporation (Entex), a local distribution 
company. Koch Gateway further states that Entex has tied these farm tap 
customers to their local distribution system; and as a result, Koch 
Gateway no longer provides natural gas service to these farm tap 
customers for Entex from the facilities proposed herein for 
abandonment.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the allowed time, the proposed 
activities 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withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the 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 NGA.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
