Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 17, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 10, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), Post Office Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed 
a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP98-661-000, pursuant to 
Sections 157.205, and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to operate as a jurisdictional 
facility in interstate commerce a meter station previously installed, 
operated and placed in service under Section 311(a) of the Natural Gas 
Policy Act (NGPA) and Section 284.3(c) of the Commission's regulations 
authorized in blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000, 
all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Koch Gateway proposes to operate as a jurisdictional facility a 
two-inch meter station constructed under 311(a) of the NGPA, to 
facilitate delivery of natural gas on behalf of Willmut Gas and Oil 
Company (Willmut), a local distribution company in Covington County, 
Mississippi to Blaine Asphalt, Inc. (Blaine), a end user. Koch states 
that presently the meter station is limited solely for gas 
transportation under section 311 of the NGPA. Operation of the 
facilities for other than NGPA purposes would provide increased access 
to shippers utilizing Natural Gas Act service and provide Willmut the 
ability to obtain additional flexibility in acquiring gas supplies. 
Koch states that once this delivery point is certificated as a 
jurisdictional facility, Willmut will be able to receive gas shipped to 
this point pursuant to jurisdictional open-access transportation 
agreements as well as Section 311 agreements. Koch reports that Willmut 
estimates its peak day and average day requirements for this delivery 
point be 1,630 MMBtu and 104

MMBtu, respectively. Koch further reports that Willmut reimbursed Koch 
Gateway approximately $53,000 for construction costs.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 54 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filled within the allowed time, 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 NGA.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
