CP82-407-000 and Secs. 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216(b) of the

Texas Gas proposes to relocate the Park City delivery point from
the Park City 2-inch Line to the side-valve location on its Bowling

the Park City 2-inch Line originates. Texas Gas proposes to install,
own, and operate a new 2-inch skid-mounted orifice meter facility,

relocating the Park City delivery point's meter facility to upgrade the
measurement facilities and relocate the meter to a site that is more
convenient for operation and maintenance of the station.
Texas Gas states that its Park City delivery point is used to serve
customers of WKG, in the Park City, Kentucky area. Texas Gas also
states that, because the Park City delivery point is merely being
relocated, service to the customers of WKG will not be affected by the
proposed abandonment of the existing delivery point. Texas Gas further
states that its proposal will not significantly affect its peak-day and
annual deliveries, that WKG has not requested any increase in contract
quantity, and that service to WKG through the relocated Park City
delivery point can be accomplished without detriment to Texas Gas'
other customers.

and Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's regulations, for
authorization to construct, own, and operate a new delivery point

natural gas to PanEnergy as compressor fuel for the Holt Compressor
Station, all as more fully set forth in the request, which is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Both compressor stations are located in Hansford County, Texas. In
response to PanEnergy's request for the new delivery point, Panhandle
proposes to construct a new 2-inch hot tap, approximately 20 feet of 2-
inch pipe, and a 2-inch check valve to enable it to make deliveries to
PanEnergy, from Panhandle's existing Line No. 41-01-002-0200. According
to Panhandle, the new delivery tap will feed the Holt Compressor
Station via a new delivery meter station and line that PanEnergy will
construct. Panhandle states that PanEnergy plans to construct a 2-inch
delivery meter, a 6-inch delivery meter, and approximately 50 feet of
2-inch, non-jurisdictional pipeline downstream of the new delivery
meter at the Holt Compressor site. Panhandle adds that PanEnergy will
construct all other facilities, including any required pressure
regulators. Panhandle further states that it will own and operate the
hot tap, meter stations and all piping
[[Page 24913]]
and equipment upstream of the delivery meter insulating flange, and
that PanEnergy will own the insulating flanges, all facilities upstream
of the receipt meter insulating flange, and all facilities downstream
of the delivery meter insulating flange.
Panhandle estimates the cost to construct the proposed facilities
at approximately $6,000. Panhandle also states that PanEnergy will
reimburse Panhandle for 100 percent of the costs and expenses that
Panhandle would otherwise incur for the proposed construction.
