and maintain the hot tap, interconnecting pipeline, meter station and 
the electronic gas measurement equipment. The cost of this project is 
estimated at $2,760,000 for which Midwestern will be reimbursed by GPC.
    Midwestern states that the addition of the proposed sales tap is 
not expected to have any significant impact on its peak day and annual 
deliveries. Midwestern continues that there is sufficient capacity to 
accomplish deliveries at the sales tap without detriment or 
disadvantage to Midwestern's other customers.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
