point, requested by PG&W, by replacing approximately 60 feet of 4-inch
interconnecting pipe with 12-inch pipe between Tennessee's 24 inch 300-
1 mainline and its existing meter tube, and approximately 100 feet of
6-inch interconnecting pipe with 12-inch pipe between the existing
meter tube and the interconnect with PG&W. Additionally, Tennessee
proposes to replace the existing 6-inch side valve assembly on
Tennessee's mainline with a 12-inch side valve assembly and install an
additional 8-inch orifice meter tube, parallel to the existing meter
tube. Tennessee states that Tennessee would install, operate and
maintain the replacement facilities.
Tennessee states that, because it is not proposing to increase the
maximum contract quantity of PG&W, the addition of this delivery point
would have no impact on Tennessee's peak day deliveries or annual
deliveries, and is not prohibited by Tennessee's tariff. Tennessee has
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries at this delivery point
