[Docket No. CP98-144-000]


Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

December 24, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 18, 1997, Natural Gas Pipeline Company 
of America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148, 
filed in Docket No. CP98-144-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.212(a) of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas 
Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212(a)) seeking NGA Section 7(c) 
certification to retain and operate an existing 3-inch tap and dual 2-
inch meter originally authorized under NGPA Section 311 to deliver gas 
to Land O'Lakes, Inc. in Beaver County, Oklahoma, under the blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-402-000, all as more fully set 
forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Natural states that it seeks NGA certification in order that it may 
be used to provide Part 284 Subpart G transportation. Natural's 
proposed quantities to be delivered at the existing point of delivery 
are 1,300 MMBtu/day. Natural states that the end use of gas is for Land 
O'Lakes, Inc. Natural states that it can provide the quantities of 
natural gas without detriment or disadvantage to its peak day and 
annual delivery capacity. Natural notes that the total volume of gas to 
be delivered after the facilities are certificated will not exceed the 
total volume originally capable of being delivered. Natural states that 
the facilities were placed in-service on November 2, 1997. Natural 
contends that it is currently providing interruptible transportation 
service by means of the subject facilities under Rate Schedule ITS.
    Natural asserts that it obtained the appropriate environmental 
clearances from the Oklahoma Historical Society, the United States 
Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, the Oklahoma 
Archaeological Survey, and the Department of the Army Corps of 
Engineers for its proposed construction.
    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 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.
