[Docket No. CP96-7-000]


Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

October 11, 1995.
    Take notice that on October 4, 1995, Mississippi River Transmission 
Corporation (MRT), 9900 Clayton Road, St. Louis, Missouri, 63124, filed 
in Docket No. CP96-7-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205, and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, and 157.211) for approval to add a new delivery point to 
serve Trigen-St. Louis Energy Corporation (Trigen), a new 
transportation customer, under its blanket certificate authority issued 
in Docket No. CP82-489-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    MRT proposes to install a ten-inch tap and appurtenant facility on 
its Line A-122 in Township 46 North, Range 7 East, St. Louis City, 
Missouri. MRT states the facilities will be located on right-of-way 
already owned by MRT and will be interconnected with a service line to 
be constructed, owned, and 

[[Page 53776]]
operated by Trigen. MRT indicates that the proposed new delivery point 
will have the capacity to deliver up to 24,000 MMBtu of natural gas on 
a peak day, but MRT estimates that only 3,500,000 MMBtu of natural gas 
will be delivered on an annual basis at the proposed point. MRT further 
indicates that it is authorized to transport gas for Trigen pursuant to 
its Part 284 open access blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP89-
1121-000 and that Trigen will initially take service under MRT's Rate 
Schedule ITS. It is also indicated that Trigen will reimburse MRT for 
the actual cost of the MRT facilities, which MRT estimates to be 
$291,036,000.
    MRT states that the volumes which will be delivered at the new 
delivery point will be within Trigen's certificated entitlement and 
that the addition of the Trigen delivery point is not prohibited by its 
tariff. It is indicated that MRT has sufficient capacity to accomplish 
the deliveries proposed herein without detriment to its other 
customers. MRT further states that the interruptible service provided 
to Trigen will have no impact on MRT's peak day deliveries, and MRT 
estimates that it will increase annual deliveries by approximately 
3,500,000 MMBtu.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene and pursuant to Sec. 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 activities 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
