[Docket No. CP98-248-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

March 2, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 23, 1998, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42304, filed in Docket No. CP98-248-000 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 permission and approval to 
abandon, by removal, the Madison (Locust Creek) delivery meter station 
located on Texas Gas' mainline system in Carroll County, Kentucky. 
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.
    Texas Gas states that the Locust Creek delivery meter station was 
constructed in 1950 under Docket No. G-859, to provide Indiana Gas 
Company, Inc. (Indiana Gas), a local distribution company, with service 
for Indiana Gas' Madison, Indiana market area. It is stated that 
Indiana Gas has requested that the Locust Creek delivery meter station 
be removed as unnecessary since the shipper receives deliveries from 
Texas Gas at the newly constructed Moorefield delivery point in 
Switzerland County, Indiana. The Moorefield delivery point now provides 
service to the same market area that the Locust Creek delivery meter 
station has traditionally served.
    It is therefore averred that service to Indiana Gas will not be 
affected by the

abandonment of the Locust Creek delivery meter station.
    Specifically, Texas Gas proposes to remove two 4-inch meter runs 
and related piping, meter building and flow measurement equipment, at 
an estimated removal cost of $11,000.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
