May 15, 1998.
    Take notice that on May 8, 1998, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans), 3500 
Park Lane, Pittsburgh, PA 15275, filed in Docket No. CP98-530-000, a 
request, pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211), for 
authorization to install a tap, metering, electronic flow measurement, 
and appurtenant facilities for the delivery of transportation gas to 
AFG Industries, Inc. (AFG) in Flemington District, Taylor County, West 
Virginia, under Equitrans' blanket certificate authorization issued in 
Docket No. CP83-508-000, pursuant to Section 7 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.
    Specifically, Equitrans seeks authorization to install a tap 
connection on its existing pipeline, Number GST-902. Equitrans relates 
that it will have a ten year firm transportation agreement with AFG. 
Equitrans states that the annual delivered volumes will be 
approximately 1,642,000 Dth, with a peak day volume of 5,000 Dth and a 
daily contractual obligation of 4,300 Dth. Equitrans asserts that all 
volumes delivered to AFG will be within contractually permissible 
levels.
    Equitrans states that this change is not prohibited by an existing 
tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries 
specified without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers. 
Equitrans estimates the cost to construct the facilities at 
approximately $127,200, a portion of which will be reimbursed by AFG to 
Equitrans. Equitrans has sent a copy of this request to the West 
Virginia Public Service Commission.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC

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 therefore, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 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.
