[Docket No. CP98-205-000]


Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 3, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 27, 1998, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 
77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP98-205-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the regulations under the Natural Gas 
Act (18 CFR 157.205) for authorization to construct a delivery point on 
Texas Eastern's existing 24-inch Line No. 1 in Alexander County, 
Illinois, to make natural gas deliveries to the Village of East Cape 
Girardeau, Illinois (East Cape Girardeau), a municipal corporation. 
Texas Eastern requests the authorization pursuant to Texas Eastern's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-535-000 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.
    Texas Eastern proposes to construct and install a 2-inch tap valve 
and 2-inch check valve (tap) on Texas Eastern's existing 24-inch Line 
No. 1 in Alexander County, Illinois.
    Texas Eastern states that East Cape Girardeau would install, or 
cause to be installed, dual 2-inch turbine meter runs (meter station), 
approximately 50 feet of 2-inch pipeline which would extend from the 
meter station to the tap (connecting pipe), and electronic gas 
measurement equipment (EMG). In addition it is stated that East Cape 
Girardeau is in the process of developing a natural gas distribution 
system in order to serve East Cape Girardeau and surrounding areas.
    Texas Eastern states that East Cape Girardeau would reimburse Texas 
Eastern for 100% of the cost and expenses that Texas Eastern would 
incur for installing the tap, and for reviewing and inspecting the 
installation of the meter station, connecting pipe, and EGM which costs 
and expenses are estimated to be approximately $20,118, including an 
allowance for federal income taxes. Texas Eastern proposes to deliver 
approximately 400 Mcf per day of natural gas to East Cape Girardeau.
    Texas Eastern further states that it would render the 
transportation service pursuant to Texas Eastern's Rate Schedule SCT 
included in Texas Eastern's F.E.R.C. Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume 
No. 1 after Texas Eastern receives Commission approval to Waive Section 
1 of Rate Schedule SCT to permit East Cape Girardeau to receive service 
under Texas Eastern's Rate Schedule SCT. It is stated that the 
transportation service rendered through the proposed delivery point 
would be performed using existing capacity on Texas Eastern's system 
and pursuant to East Cape Girardeau's existing service agreement and 
would have no effect on Texas Eastern's peak day and annual deliveries.
    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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
