Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 7, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 4, 1997, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 
77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP97-229-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 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 
construct a delivery point in New Jersey for providing natural gas 
deliveries to Elizabethtown Gas Company, a Division of NUI Corporation 
(Elizabethtown), under Texas Eastern's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-535-000 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 Eastern proposes to construct, install, own, operate and 
maintain an 8-inch tap valve (Tap) and dual 6-inch orifice meters 
(Meter Station), electronic gas measurement equipment, and 
approximately 120 feet of 8-inch pipeline which will extend from the 
Meter Station to the Tap and appurtenant facilities on Texas Eastern's 
existing 24-inch Line No. 20-B at Mile Post 7.68 in Union County, New 
Jersey. In addition to these facilities, Elizabethtown will install, or 
cause to be installed, and own, operate and maintain a heater and 
pressure regulation valves. The estimated capital costs of Texas 
Eastern's proposal is $1,922,000. Texas Eastern will deliver up to 58 
MMcf/d of natural gas at the proposed delivery point.
    Texas Eastern states that its existing tariff does not prohibit the 
additional facility and that the new delivery point will have no effect 
on peak or annual deliveries and that this proposal can be accomplished 
without detriment or disadvantage to 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
