[Docket No. CP98-633-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

June 30, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 23, 1998, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42301, filed in Docket No. CP98-633-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to operate a 
delivery tap, located in Hopkins County, Kentucky, under Texas Gas' 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-407-000, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) 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.
    Texas Gas proposes to operate an existing delivery tap, located at 
Mile 4+2823 on Texas Gas' Slaughters-Nortonville 10-Inch Line in 
Hopkins County, Kentucky, to enable Western Kentucky Gas Company 
(Western), a local distribution company, to serve a right-of-way 
grantor with natural gas requirements which will exceed 200 MMBtu of 
natural gas per day.
    Texas Gas states that this tap was constructed by Texas Gas under 
the automatic authorization of Section 157.211(a)(1) of the 
Commission's Regulation's following the execution of a letter agreement 
between Texas Gas and Western, dated January 29, 1998 (agreement), to 
permit Western to render gas service to right-of-way grantor Allen 
Hayden. Texas Gas declares that under the agreement, Western would own 
and operate the measurement facilities, placed into service on March 
27, 1998, and reimburse Texas Gas for the cost of its facilities. Texas 
Gas asserts Western has informed them that the estimated daily usage 
for this facility is expected to be 250 Mcf per day. Texas Gas states 
that because such usage exceeds the 200 MMBtu required for automatic 
authorization for a delivery tap, Texas Gas requests authorization to 
deliver up to 250 Mcf of natural gas per day to Western at this 
delivery tap.
    Texas Gas declares that the above proposal will not have a 
significant effect on Texas Gas' peak day and annual deliveries as 
Western has not requested an increase in contract quantity, and service 
to Western through this point can be accomplished without detriment to 
Texas Gas' 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 field 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.
