[Docket No. CP97-352-000]


Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 23, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 17, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-352-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate a dual 
6-inch meter station at an existing 12-inch tap to provide natural gas 
service to Mobil Oil Corporation's Chalmette Refinery (Mobil), under 
Koch Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000 
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.
    Koch Gateway proposes to install the new tap on its existing 
lateral line, designated as TPL 287, in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. 
The installation costs are estimated at $135,000. Mobil estimates its 
peak day and average day volumes to be 18,648 MMBtu and 12,432 MMBtu, 
respectively. All construction activities will be within Koch Gateway's 
existing right-of-way and fenced-in station yard. Mobil will construct 
approximately 2,100 feet of 4-inch, 40 feet of 8-inch and 250 feet of 
10-inch pipeline to connect the proposed meter tubes to its facility.
    Koch Gateway states that the new installation of facilities is not 
prohibited by its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity 
to accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to its other 
existing customers. Koch Gateway also states that this proposed service 
will not have an effect on its 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
