[Docket No. CP98-194-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

January 27, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 21, 1998, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42304, filed in Docket No. CP98-194-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to construct and 
operate a delivery point for AK Steel Corporation (AK Steel) in Warren 
County, Ohio to accommodate AK Steel's request for interruptible 
natural gas service directly from Texas Gas. Texas Gas makes such 
request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-407-000 
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, Texas proposes to install, own, operate and maintain 
a dual 8-inch delivery meter station with flow control and a 10-inch 
side valve on a site owned by Texas Gas. The proposed new delivery 
point will be known as the Lebanon-AK Steel Delivery Point, and will be 
located on Texas Gas' Main Line System at Mile Post 712+2990 at Texas 
Gas' Dispatch Station at Lebanon, Warren County, Ohio. AK Steel's 
natural gas requirements for its Middletown plant, in Warren County are 
presently supplied on an interruptible basis by Cincinnati Gas & 
Electric Company, an existing customer of Texas Gas.
    It is stated that the proposed facilities will enable Texas Gas to 
deliver up to 90,000 MMBtu of interruptible natural gas per day for use 
at AK Steel's Middletown plant. Texas Gas states that the 
transportation service will be provided pursuant to the authority of 
Texas Gas' blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP88-686-000 and 
pursuant to Section 284.223 of the Commission's Regulations.
    Texas Gas states the rate schedule applicable to the transportation 
service will be Texas Gas' IT Rate Schedule, as contained in First 
Revised Volume No. 1 of Texas Gas' FERC Gas Tariff. It is averred that 
AK Steel indicates that it may also serve its requirements through the 
purchase of released firm capacity on Texas Gas' system.
    Texas Gas states that AK Steel will reimburse in full, Texas Gas' 
estimated $239,000 facility cost for this project.
    It is further stated that because only interruptible transportation 
service is proposed to be provided to AK Steel at this point, the above 
proposal will have no significant effect on Texas Gas' peak day and 
annual deliveries, and service to AK Steel through this point can be 
accomplished without detriment to Texas Gas' 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

[[Page 5371]]

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.
