[Docket No. CP97-158-000]


Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

December 30, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 17, 1996, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle), Post Office Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-158-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to upgrade the Indiana 
Gas Company, Inc.'s (Indiana Gas) Bloomingdale Meter and Regulation 
Station, an existing delivery point located in Parke County, Indiana. 
Panhandle makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP83-83-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, 
all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Panhandle proposes to replace certain inefficient and undersized 
facilities with more efficient upgraded facilities so as to allow 
increased pressure at this delivery point. The proposed facility 
upgrade is classified as minor, above ground modifications, which will 
include the upgrade of internal components of the regulators, such as 
removing the current 500 psi maximum spring in the pilot of each of the 
four 3-inch Mooney regulators and replacing it with a 400-900 psi range 
spring. It is stated that such facility upgrade is proposed to increase 
the maximum capacity of the Bloomingdale meter station to approximately 
23,700 Mcf per day, and increase the operating pressure from 275 psig 
to 500 psig. Panhandle indicates that the increased service 
availability will be provided within Indiana Gas' existing 
entitlements.
    The estimated cost of upgrading the proposed facilities is $5,000. 
Panhandle states that Indiana Gas will reimburse the cost of the 
facilities.
    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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
