[Docket No. CP98-18-000]


Koch Gateway Pipeline Company, Notice of Request under Blanket 
Authorization

October 16, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 9, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-18-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211, 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.211, 157.216) for authorization to establish three 
new delivery taps and to abandon eight delivery taps, located in St. 
Tammany Parish, Louisiana, under Koch Gateway's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 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.
    Kock Gateway proposes to install three new delivery taps and minor 
piping, located in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, to tie over certain 
taps to its adjacent pipeline facilities, Index 300, or to the 
facilities of a local distribution company, Entex, Inc. (Entex). Koch 
Gateway also proposes to abandon eight farm taps by plugging and 
removing all valves and above-ground facilities on its Index 276 
facilities, also in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. Koch Gateway states 
that these taps are used for delivery of natural gas to end-users on 
behalf of Entex. Koch Gateway asserts service will be continued to the 
affected end-users through new taps on an adjacent Koch Gateway 
pipeline. Koch Gateway declares that Entex concurs with the proposed 
abandonment and tie-over measures.
    Kock Gateway states that the purchaser of Index 276, Koch Pipeline, 
Inc., a subsidiary of Koch Industries, will reimburse them for the cost 
of the proposed construction and abandonment activities, estimated to 
be $44,644.
    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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
