[Docket No. CP99-369-000]
East Tennessee Natural Gas Company, Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
May 4, 1999.
Take notice that on April 29, 1999, East Tennessee Natural Gas
Company (East Tennessee), Post Office Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252,
filed in Docket No. CP99-369-000 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 authorization to abandon by sale to
the Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB), a municipality engaged in the
local distribution of natural gas to the public, its Knoxville Lateral
located in Knox County, Tennessee for a purchase price of $44,500. East
Tennessee makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-412-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act,
all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission.
The filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
East Tennessee states that the Knoxville Lateral was constructed in
order to facilitate the transportation and sale of natural gas in
interstate commerce, and that KUB is the only customer served by the
Knoxville Lateral. Specifically, East Tennessee proposes to abandon
approximately 5.5 miles of 12-inch diameter gas pipeline and related
appurtenances that extends from East Tennessee's Mile Post 3116A-
101+0.0 to Mile Post 3116-101+5.54 (Side Valve 3116A-101 to Side Valve
3116A-1401). East Tennessee states that the metering facility
associated with this lateral, Meter No. 75-9005, will continue to be
owned by East Tennessee.
East Tennessee avers that no environmental effects will result from
this proposed abandonment and sale, since ownership of the existing
facilities will simply be transferred to KUB. No facilities will be
constructed or removed, and it is indicated that KUB intends to operate
the pipeline as part of its integrated local distribution system.
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
therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized
effective the day after the time allowed for fling 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.

Acting Secretary.
