Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on July 18, 1996, Florida Gas Transmission Company 
(FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-1188, 
filed in Docket No. CP96-645-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a 
new delivery point and to realize natural gas volumes under FGT's 
blanket certificate issued 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 construct, operate, and own a new delivery point at 
or near mile post 26.5 on its existing St. Petersburg Lateral in Polk 
County, Florida, for Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (Chesapeake). FGT 
also proposes to (i) add the delivery point to an existing firm gas 
transportation service agreement pursuant to FGT's FERC Gas Tariff Rate 
Schedule FTS-1 and (ii) realign ``Maximum Daily Quantities'' from the 
existing Bartow ``B'' Delivery Point and to realign ``Maximum Daily 
Transportation Quantities'' from the existing Winter Haven Division to 
the delivery point.
    FGT states that the delivery point would include a 2-inch tap, 
electronic flow measurement equipment, and any related appurtenant 
facilities necessary for FGT to deliver gas up to 60 MMBtu per hour at 
line pressure. It is stated that Chesapeake would reimburse FGT for the 
$67,000 estimated construction costs. It is further stated that 
Chesapeake would construct, own, and operate related non-jurisdictional 
facilities, including a meter and regulation station.
    FGT advises that the delivery point would be used by FGT to 
transport gas for the State of Florida for its Polk Correctional 
Institution. FGT explains that the State of Florida would acquire firm 
capacity from Chesapeake under FGT's Capacity Relinquishment program in 
accordance with section 18 of the General Terms and Conditions of FGT's 
FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, and FGT would transport 
gas to the delivery point on a self-implementing basis under its 
blanket transportation certificate issued by the Commission in Docket 
No. CP89-555-000, pursuant to Subpart G of Part 284 of the Commission's 
Regulations.
    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 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 therefore, 
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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
