    Take notice that on June 26, 1998, Midwestern Gas Transmission 
Company (Midwestern), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-639-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to operate an existing delivery 
point facility that was initially constructed under Section 311(a) of 
the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), under Midwestern's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-414-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is

    The proposal states that Midwestern has recently constructed a 
delivery point (Purdue Farm Delivery Point) under Section 311(a) of the 
NGPA for use in the transportation of natural gas under Subpart B of 
Part 284 of the Commission's regulations. Granting this requested 
authorization will enable Midwestern to fully utilize the facility for 
all transportation services, pursuant to Section 311 of the NGPA and 
Section 7 of the NGA and will increase the transportation options of 
customers on Midwestern's system.
    Midwestern states that the proposed activity is not prohibited by 
its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish 
the changes without detriment or disadvantage to other customers. There 
will not be an effect on Midwestern's peak day and annual deliveries 
and the total volumes deliveries will not exceed total volumes 
authorized prior to this request.
    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 Procedures 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Acting Secretary.
