489-000 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

    MRT proposes to install approximately 2,300 feet of 2-inch pipe, a 
measuring and regulating station, and related facilities and equipment. 
The proposed sales tap will interconnect with MRT's Alton Loop East in 
Section 10, Township 4 North, Range 9 West, Madison County, Illinois 
and requires the purchase of right-of-way. ARG requested this delivery 
for its fuel oil refining plant in Madison County. MRT states that it 
will deliver an estimated 400 MMBtu of natural gas on a peak day and an 
estimated 80,000 MMBtu on an annual basis at the proposed sales tap. 
MRT is authorized to transport gas for ARG pursuant to its blanket 
transportation certificate issued in Docket No. CP89-1121-000. MRT 
states that the proposed facilities will cost $81,000 and MRT Energy 
Marketing Company, the marketing company which has contracted to 
provide service to ARG, will reimburse MRT for the cost.
    MRT states that this additional sales tap is not prohibited in its 
existing FERC Gas Tariff, that there is sufficient capacity to 
accomplish the proposed deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to 
other customers, and it is not expected to affect MRT's system-wide 
peak day deliveries.
