Docket No. CP96-793-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18

    Panhandle proposes to establish and install a point of

peaking power project located in Sangamon County, Illinois. Panhandle 
states the interconnect will include a tap, minor connecting pipe, 
measuring and regulating station with flow control and electronic flow 
measurement equipment.
    In addition to the facilities described above, Panhandle proposes 
to construct approximately 3,000 feet of 10-inch pipeline and pressure 
regulation consisting of a 4-inch pressure control valve and associated 
6-inch piping. Panhandle states that Springfield CWL&P will own and 
operate these proposed facilities.
    Panhandle advises the proposed facilities will initially be 
utilized to deliver up to 40,000 Dt per day of natural gas to 
Springfield CWL&P. Panhandle states the pipeline will be designed to 
deliver up to 75,000 Dt per day at a maximum allowable operating 
pressure of 850 p.s.i.g. Panhandle states the proposed facilities will 
be located entirely on its existing right-of-way.
    Panhandle indicates that Springfield CWL&P will reimburse them 100 
per cent for the costs and expenses incurred for installing the tap and 
appurtenant facilities and for installing Springfield CWL&P's proposed 
facilities. Panhandle estimates the total costs to construct these new 
facilities to be approximately $1,174,000.
    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 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 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
