[Docket No. CP97-669-000]


Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request under Blanket 
Authorization

August 4, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 28, 1997, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-669-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.212 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212 and 157.216) for authorization to modify 
certain measurement facilities in connection with a change at an 
existing delivery point, under Southern's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-406-000 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.
    Southern states that it is currently authorized to deliver natural 
gas to Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco) at Southern's Eclectic 
Delivery Point (Eclectic) which is located at or near Mile Post 241.544 
on Southern's 16'' South Main Line and 18'' South Main Loop Line in 
Section 29, Township 18 North, Range 21 East, Elmore County, Alabama. 
Alagasco has requested the modifications in order to obtain additional 
gas supplies so that Alagasco may serve demand growth on its Eclectic 
system. Specifically, Southern proposes to modify the existing meter 
station by removing the existing regulators, relief valves and meter, 
and installing a 2-inch rotary meter, two 2'' regulators, an indirect 
gas-fired heater, and miscellaneous piping and valves. These 
modifications will all be performed on Southern's existing station 
property located in Elmore County, Alabama. The total estimated cost of 
the modifications is $182,300 and Alagasco has agreed to reimburse 
Southern.
    Southern states that the proposed modification of facilities, 
including the removal of the existing equipment, will not result in any 
termination of service or any change to the total Firm Transportation 
Demand delivered to Alagasco. The proposed abandonment of facilities 
and change in delivery pressure are not prohibited by Southern's 
existing tariff and such operational changes will have no impact on 
Southern's peak day and annual deliveries.
    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
