Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

August 13, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 7, 1997, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in Docket No. 
CP97-687-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.212) for authorization to modify an existing delivery point on 
Tennessee's system, located in Tippah County, Mississippi, to provide 
continued natural gas transportation service for the City of Ripley, 
Mississippi (City of Ripley under Tennessee's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-413-000 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.
    Tennessee proposes to modify an existing delivery point located at 
approximate M.P. 851-1+13.4 to eliminate operational concerns caused by 
the high velocity of flow at this location. To modify this delivery 
point Tennessee will sever and cap a common connection at the header 
which serves the cities of Ripley and Baldwin, Mississippi, remove 
approximately 8-feet of the 6-inch header pipe, install a 4-inch hot 
tap assembly and approximately 40-feet of 4-inch interconnect pipe to 
form a direct line of service to the City of Ripley. The City of 
Baldwin will continue to receive service through the existing 2-inch 
side valve. The City of Ripley will reimburse Tennessee for the 
approximate $25,000 cost.
    Tennessee states that the total volumes delivered will not exceed 
total volumes authorized prior to this request, that this modification 
is not prohibited by its existing tariff, and that Tennessee has 
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries without detriment or 
disadvantage to its 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
