Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 1, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 28, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-75-000 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 establish a delivery point 
for Reynolds Metals Company (Reynolds) under Tennessee's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-413-000 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.
    Tennessee proposes to construct a new delivery point on its system 
at approximate milepost 5A-202+6 in San Patricio County, Texas for the 
delivery of up to 27,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas to Reynolds. 
The cost of the new delivery point is estimated to be $240,000.
    Tennessee states that in order to establish this delivery point, 
Tennessee proposes to construct, own, operate and maintain the 
necessary 6-inch hot tap, approximately 100 feet of 6-inch interconnect 
piping, measurement, including electronic gas measurement equipment, 
communications equipment, upstream separation facilities, valving and 
appurtenant facilities. Tennessee states that the hot tap and a portion 
of the interconnecting pipe will be located on Tennessee's existing 
right-of-way, and that the meter facilities, the remaining portion of 
the interconnecting pipe, communications, and the separator will be 
located on a site adjacent to Tennessee's existing right-of-way. 
Tennessee states that Reynolds will provide the adjacent meter station 
site, site improvements, access road and electrical service. Tennessee 
states that Reynolds will install, own and maintain the flow control 
equipment and pipeline between the meter station and its plant, and 
that Tennessee will operate the flow control equipment.
    Tennessee states that the total quantities to be delivered for 
Reynolds will not exceed the total quantities authorized. Tennessee 
asserts that its tariff does not prohibit the addition of new delivery 
points, and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the 
deliveries at the proposed new delivery meter without detriment or

disadvantage to any of Tennessee's other 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 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.
