[Docket No. CP97-785-000]


Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 7, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 29, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas, 77251-1478, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-785-000, a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.216(b) and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations, for 
approval to abandon three farm taps on its Index 276 in LaFourch 
Parish, Louisiana, and establish three new delivery taps, under its 
blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-430-000, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth 
in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Koch Gateway states that the certificate authorization for the 
construction and operation of the taps which Koch Gateway now seeks 
abandonment authorization was issued in FPC Docket No. G-232. Koch 
Gateway states that these taps are used for delivery of natural gas to 
end-users on behalf of Louisiana Gas Service Company (LGS) a local 
distribution company in LaFourche Parish, Louisiana. Service will be 
continued to the affected end-users through new taps on an adjacent 
Koch Gateway pipeline. Koch Gateway asserts that LGS concurs with the 
proposed abandonment and tie-over measures.
    Koch Gateway indicates that the approximate cost of the proposed 
abandonment and construction activities is $31,500. The purchaser of 
Index 276 will reimburse Koch Gateway for all such costs.
    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 Sec. 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
