Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-629-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
June 29, 1998.
Take notice that on June 22, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee), a Delaware corporation, Post Office Box 2511, Houston,
Texas 77252, filed a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP98-
629-000, pursuant to Sections 157.205, and 157.212 of the Commission's
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to
install a delivery point, to provide interruptible gas transportation
service to Chevron Gas Pipeline Company (Chevron) for emergency fuel
use authorized in blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-413-
000, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
Tennessee proposes to install a new delivery point on its system at
approximately Mile Post 526A-601+17.65, Side Valve 526A-612 located at
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, Louisiana State Water, Main Pass Block
80 (MP 80) to provide interruptible gas transportation service of up to
900 dekatherms per day to Chevron for emergency fuel use. At MP 80,
Tennessee will inspect Chevron's installation of a two-inch tie-in
assembly on an offshore platform owned by Ocean Energy Inc. The volumes
to be delivered to MP 80 will be transported from MP 80 over
interconnecting pipe owned by Forcenergy Inc. (Forcenergy), to a
pipeline platform located at Main Pass Block 69 (MP 69) owned by
Forcenergy. Chevron has separately arranged with Forcenergy for
transportation services over this interconnecting pipe. Chevron would
install its measurement facilities. Tennessee would install, own and
operate electronic gas measurement (EGM) equipment and own, operate and
maintain the tie-in assembly. Chevron would install, own and maintain
the measurement facility. Tennessee reports that Chevron would
reimburse Tennessee approximately $24,700 for the cost of the project.
Tennesee reports that deliveries of natural gas to Chevron from the
proposed point would be on an interruptible basis, pursuant to a
transportation agreement between Tennessee and Chevron under
Tennessee's Rate Schedule IT. The addition of this delivery point is
not expected to have any significant impact upon Tennessee's peak day
or annual deliveries.
Tennessee states that the total quantities to be delivered to
Chevron after the delivery point is installed would not exceed
previously authorized quantities. Tennessee further states 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 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no
protest is filed 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
[[Page 36399]]
application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.

Acting Secretary.
