[Docket No. CP97-79-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

November 5, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 31, 1996, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42301, filed in Docket No. CP97-79-000 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 in Coahoma County, Mississippi, to serve 
an existing customer, Mississippi Valley Gas Company (MVG), a local 
distribution company, under Texas Gas's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-407-000 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.
    Texas Gas states that the proposed delivery point will be known as 
the Viney Ridge Road Delivery Point and will be located on Texas Gas's 
Mainline System in Coahoma County, Mississippi. Texas Gas also states 
that it will install, own, operate and maintain the side valve, dual 
2'' orifice meter station, electronic flow measurement, telemetry and 
related facilities, and that all necessary construction by Texas Gas 
will occur inside previously disturbed existing right-of-way.
    Texas Gas states that the new delivery point will provide operating 
flexibility and increased supply security to MVG in the Clarksdale, 
Mississippi area. The estimated maximum daily volume for this point is 
5,000 MMBtu.
    Texas Gas states that MVG will serve the new delivery point with 
natural gas transported pursuant to its Firm Transportation Agreement 
and Firm No Notice Transportation Agreement with Texas Gas, and has 
informed Texas Gas it will not require any increase in existing 
contract quantities to accommodate service to the new delivery point.
    Texas Gas states that since no increase in contract quantities has 
been requested by MVG, the above proposal will have no significant 
effect on Texas Gas's peak day and annual deliveries, and service to 
MVG through this point can be accomplished without detriment to Texas 
Gas's other customers.
    Texas Gas states that MVG will reimburse Texas Gas for the cost of 
the facilities to be installed by Texas Gas, which cost is estimated to 
be $86,100.
    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
