[Docket No. CP98-371-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 19, 1998.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
    Take notice that on April 23, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-371-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the National Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 
and 157.212) for authorization to construct, own and operate a new 
point of delivery in Gilchrist County, Florida to accommodate a request 
for additional deliveries of natural gas to the State of Florida's 
Lancaster Correctional Facility. FGT makes such request under its 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP-82-553-000 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, FGT proposes to construct, own and operate a new tap, 
electronic flow measurement equipment and approximately 100 feet of 2-
inch connecting pipeline, to deliver natural gas to a new meter station 
to be constructed, owned, and operated by TECO Peoples Gas Inc. (TECO). 
It is stated that the proposed new delivery point, PGS-Trenton, will be 
added to the existing FTS-1 Service Agreement between FGT and the State 
of Florida.
    The PGS-Trenton point is slated to receive up to 300 MMBtu per day 
at line pressure. It is averred that the new delivery point will not 
increase the contractual gas quantities nor increase the current 
certificated level of service under the existing FTS-1 Service 
Agreement.
    FGT estimates it will cost approximately $70,000 to construct the 
requested facilities, and states that the cost will be reimbursed by 
the State of Florida. It is stated that the end-use of the gas will be 
for industrial purposes.
    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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
