[Docket No. CP96-221-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 12, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 29, 1996 and amended on March 8, 1996, 
Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 
1188, Houston, Texas 77251-1188, filed in Docket No. CP96-221-000 a 
request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for 
authorization to abandon by sale certain facilities located in Dade 
County, Florida under FGT's blanket certificate issues 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 abandon and sell to City Gas Company of Florida, a 
division of NUI Corporation (City Gas): (1) the 4-inch Homestead 
Lateral which is approximately 16.9 miles long and extends from FGT's 
18-inch mainline and its 24-inch Turkey Point Lateral to the inlet side 
of the Homestead Meter Station, and (2) the Cutler Ridge Meter Station, 
except for the electronic flow measurement equipment, which is attached 
to the 4-inch Homestead Lateral and serves City Gas. City Gas would use 
the subject facilities as part of its distribution system to serve its 
industrial, commercial and residential customers. FGT lists the sale 
price of the facilities proposed to be abandoned as $450,000.
    FGT states that an existing 6-inch lateral line which partially 
loops the 4-inch Homestead Lateral currently serves the City of 
Homestead and has sufficient capacity to meet FGT's contractual 
obligations to the City of Homestead. Therefore FGT maintains that the 
proposed abandonment and sale of the 4-inch Homestead Lateral will not 
result in any disruption or abandonment of service to the City of 
Homestead, nor will it disadvantage any of FGT's customers.
    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

[[Page 10998]]
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 therefor, 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
