[Docket No. CP96-645-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
July 23, 1996.
Take notice that on July 18, 1996, Florida Gas Transmission Company
(FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-1188,
filed in Docket No. CP96-645-000 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 construct and operate a
new delivery point and to realize natural gas volumes under FGT's
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
FGT proposes to construct, operate, and own a new delivery point at
or near mile post 26.5 on its existing St. Petersburg Lateral in Polk
County, Florida, for Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (Chesapeake). FGT
also proposes to (i) add the delivery point to an existing firm gas
transportation service agreement pursuant to FGT's FERC Gas Tariff Rate
Schedule FTS-1 and (ii) realign ``Maximum Daily Quantities'' from the
existing Bartow ``B'' Delivery Point and to realign ``Maximum Daily
Transportation Quantities'' from the existing Winter Haven Division to
the delivery point.
FGT states that the delivery point would include a 2-inch tap,
electronic flow measurement equipment, and any related appurtenant
facilities necessary for FGT to deliver gas up to 60 MMBtu per hour at
line pressure. It is stated that Chesapeake would reimburse FGT for the
$67,000 estimated construction costs. It is further stated that
Chesapeake would construct, own, and operate related non-jurisdictional
facilities, including a meter and regulation station.
FGT advises that the delivery point would be used by FGT to
transport gas for the State of Florida for its Polk Correctional
Institution. FGT explains that the State of Florida would acquire firm
capacity from Chesapeake under FGT's Capacity Relinquishment program in
accordance with section 18 of the General Terms and Conditions of FGT's
FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, and FGT would transport
gas to the delivery point on a self-implementing basis under its
blanket transportation certificate issued by the Commission in Docket
No. CP89-555-000, pursuant to Subpart G of Part 284 of the Commission's
Regulations.
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 therefore,
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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
