Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP94-243-000, a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of

    FGT states that the subject existing meter station is called the 
Orlando Meter Stations and is used to measure gas deliveries to Peoples 
Gas System, Inc. (Peoples). FGT proposes to upgrade the meter station 
by installing a high pressure rotary meter and related appurtenant 
facilities. The meter station is located at milepost 6.7 on FGT's 6-
inch Orlando Lateral in Orange County, Florida. FGT also states that 
Peoples shall reimburse it for all costs relating to the proposed 
upgrade which is estimated to be $11,500.
    It is further stated that the proposed upgrade would not change the 
certificated levels of service currently being provided to Peoples by 
FGT. Nor would the proposed upgrade increase contractual gas 
quantities. Therefore, the proposed upgrade would not impact FGT's peak 
day or annual deliveries. The present and proposed quantity to be 
delivered at the Orlando division is: up to 32,520 MMBtu per day and up 
to 8,808,900 MMBtu per year. It is stated that the end-use would be

for the proposed abandonment are required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
