157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to construct and 
operate a new delivery point in Mobile County, Alabama for Clarke-

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 
of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is an file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    FGT asserts that Clarke-Mobile requested FGT to construct a new 
delivery point, to which FGT will transport gas on an interruptible 
basis on a self-implementing basis pursuant to Subpart G of Part 284 of 
the Commission's Regulations. FGT proposes to construct, operate and 
own the new delivery point, which will include a 6-inch tap, electronic 
flow measurement equipment, approximately 100 feet of connecting pipe, 
and any other related appurtenant facilities necessary for FGT to 
deliver gas up to a maximum of 28,800 MMBtu per day and up to 
10,512,000 MMBtu per year. FGT claims that Clarke-Mobile will reimburse 
FGT for all costs directly and indirectly incurred for the construction 
of the new delivery point. FGT estimates that the total cost of the 
proposed construction is $100,000 and includes federal income tax 
gross-up. FGT states that the end use of the gas will be primarily for 
industrial, commercial, and residential.
    FGT states that Clarke-Mobile will construct, operate, and own 
certain non-jurisdictional facilities which will include the metering 
facility and any other related appurtenant facilities necessary for 
receiving up to a maximum of 28,800 MMBtu/d. FGT asserts that the 
design and installation of these facilities will be in accordance with 
FGT's specifications and approval and that it will have the right to 
inspect such facilities during and after construction. FGT states that 
the proposed request will have no impact on FGT's peak day delivery, 
however, annual deliveries could be affected, up to 10,512,000 MMBtu.
    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 therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed 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.
