[Docket No. CP98-292-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 25, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 20, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-292-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) 
for authorization to abandon approximately .9 of a mile of the 12-inch 
Ft. Lauderdale Lateral under FGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all 
as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    FGT states that it is required to remove or abandon the 12-inch Ft. 
Lauderdale Lateral due to the state road department's plan to widen 
Griffin Road into Ft. Lauderdale where the 12-inch Ft. Lauderdale 
Lateral is in the road right-of-way. It is further stated that FGT has 
determined that the 12-inch lateral is no longer needed to serve 
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) since the construction of the new 
metering facilities currently being served through the 24-inch lateral 
and metering facilities constructed on the north side of the FPL power 
plant.
    FGT proposes to abandon and remove four short sections totaling 45 
feet, of the 12-inch Ft. Lauderdale pipeline, and filling the remaining 
portions with water or nitrogen. FGT states that the proposed 
abandonment would not result in the abandonment of any existing service 
to FGT's customers, nor would it disadvantage FGT's existing 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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
