facility a 20-inch tap constructed and placed in service under Section
311(a) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) to facilitate
delivery of natural gas on behalf of Acadian Gas Pipeline Company
(Acadian), an intrastate pipeline company, in St. Charles Parish,

Koch Gateway requests authorization to place into jurisdictional
service a 20-inch tap installed under Section 311(a) of the NGPA and
Section 284.3(c) of the Commission's regulations. This facility is
located on Koch Gateway's pipeline designated as Index 300, in St.
Charles Parish, Louisiana.
Koch Gateway states that, currently, use of this facility is
limited solely to shippers utilizing transportation service under Part
284, Subpart B of the Commission's regulations. Koch Gateway further
states that upon approval of this request for certification, Acadian
will be able to receive gas transported to this facility pursuant to
jurisdictional open-access transportation agreements as well as Part
284, Subpart B facilities will provide Acadian access to shippers
utilizing Natural Gas Act transportation service and, thus, will
provide Acadian with additional flexibility in obtaining gas supplies.
Koch Gateway also states that Acadian estimates its peak day
requirements for this facility are 200,000 Dth, and that such
quantities will be transported pursuant to Koch Gateway's Firm
Transportation Service and Interruptible Transportation Service Rate
Schedules.
Koch Gateway states that certification of the subject facility will
not have an impact on its peak day and annual deliveries because no
change in service is proposed. Koch Gateway further states that it will
continue operate the facility in compliance with 18 CFR, Part 157,
Subpart F; that it has sufficient capacity to render the proposed
service without detriment or disadvantage to its other existing
customers; and that its tariff does not prohibit the proposed change in
jurisdictional status of the subject facilities or the addition of new
delivery points.
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.
