[Docket No. CP98-206-000]


Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

February 5, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 27, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-206-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to abandon a one-inch tap, 
under Koch Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-
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.
    Koch Gateway states that the certificate authorization for the 
construction and operation of the tap and pipeline facilities for which 
Koch Gateway now seeks abandonment authorization was issued in Docket 
No. CP71-089. Koch Gateway states that these facilities were used for 
delivery of natural gas to Illinois Central Railroad (Illinois) in 
Jefferson Parish, Louisiana on behalf of Louisiana Gas Service (LGS) a 
local distribution company. Koch Gateway asserts that both Illinois and 
LGS concur with the proposed abandonment. Koch Gateway will provide 
Illinois with an alternative energy source of Illinois' own choosing, 
whether that be propane or electricity.
    Koch Gateway states that the proposed activity is not prohibited by 
its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate 
the proposed changes without detriment or disadvantage to Koch 
Gateway's 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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
