DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-663-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
July 17, 1998.
Take notice that on July 10, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed in Docket
No. CP98-633-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.212) for authorization to convert an existing receipt point,
located in Hancock County, Mississippi, to a delivery point in order to
provide transportation service to Entex, a Division of NorAm Energy
Corporation (Entex), under Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-413-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas
Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with
the Commission fully set forth in the request that is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
Tennessee proposes, at Entex's request, to convert an existing
receipt point, located on its system at approximately Mile Post 530-
2+0.10 on Tennessee's 36-inch Delta Portland Line 500-2 in Hancock
County, Mississippi, to a delivery point in order to provide a firm
transportation service up to a proposed maximum of 500 to 7,000
dekatherms per day to Entex.
Tennessee states that it will convert the inactive 4-inch receipt
meter (#1-1804-1), connected inactive in May 1987) to a delivery meter
by reversing the existing 4-inch check valve and installing electronic
gas measurement (EGM). Tennessee declares that the existing meter site
and interconnecting pipe are within their Station 530 fee property; the
meter is owned by Entex. Tennessee asserts that Entex will perform the
necessary land improvements and provide and maintain an all-weather
access road to the site, as well as install, own, and maintain the
measurement facilities and will provide electrical service for the
measurement facilities. Tennessee asserts that they will operate the
measurement facilities and continue to own, operate, and maintain the
side valve assembly as well as install, own, operate, and maintain the
EGM, while Entex will continue to own, operate, and maintain the
interconnecting pipe.
Tennessee states that Entex will reimburse them for Tennessee's
share of the project cost, which is approximately $29,600. Tennessee
asserts that the proposed modification is not prohibited by its tariff,
and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries at the
delivery point without detriment or disadvantage to Tennessee'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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
