[Docket No. CP98-124-000]


Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

December 16, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 9, 1997, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in 
Docket No, CP98-124-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct, own and operate a 
new delivery point to be located in Pittsboro, Hendriks County Indiana, 
under Panhandle's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-83-000, 
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.
    Specifically Panhandle proposes to install two 8-inch hot taps and 
check valves on Panhandle's mainline facilities, approximately 1,200 
feet of 8-inch connecting pipe, and install electronic gas measurement 
equipment on the proposed metering facilities. Panhandle states that 
the proposed interconnection will be utilized to provide transportation 
service to Indiana Gas Company (Indiana Gas) for redelivery to 
Qualitech Corporation, a steel plant near Pittsboro, Indiana. Panhandle 
states that Indiana Gas will also construct facilities to accommodate 
receipt of the gas from Panhandle. The estimated cost of the proposed 
facilities is approximately $85,000, which Panhandle states will be 
reimbursed by Indiana Gas. Panhandle states that the new 
interconnection will be designed to deliver up to 36,000 Dt/d of 
natural gas.
    Panhandle states that the construction of the proposed facilities 
will have no effect on its peak day and annual delivery requirement, 
and that Panhandle 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
