    Take notice that on March 26, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-308-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18

an existing industrial chemical facility located in St. James Parish, 
Louisiana, under TGPL's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
426-000 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

    Transco states that the new sales tap will be used by Occidental 
Chemical Corporation (Occidental) for chemical manufacturing plant 
operations. Transco proposes to construct, install, own and operate the 
new sales tap and associated pipeline facilities consisting of a 6-inch 
hot tap near the 4.04 milepost on Transco's existing 12-inch Hester 
Lateral, a dual 2-inch meter run and 750 of associated pipeline. 
Transco states that Occidental will construct, or cause to be 
constructed, appurtenant facilities to enable it to receive up to 8,000 
Mcf of gas per day from Transco on an interruptible basis. Transco 
states that the proposed facilities are estimated at $165,000 and that 
Occidental will cause Transco to be reimbursed for all costs associated 
with the facilities.
    Transco states that the new sales tap is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish 
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other customers. The 
new sales tap will not have an effect on Transco's peak day and annual 
deliveries and the total volumes delivered will not exceed total 
volumes authorized prior to this request.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
