[Docket No. CP98-663-000]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 17, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 10, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-633-000 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 convert an existing receipt point, 
located in Hancock County, Mississippi, to a delivery point in order to 
provide transportation service to Entex, a Division of NorAm Energy 
Corporation (Entex), under Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-413-000, 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 fully set forth in the request that is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee proposes, at Entex's request, to convert an existing 
receipt point, located on its system at approximately Mile Post 530-
2+0.10 on Tennessee's 36-inch Delta Portland Line 500-2 in Hancock 
County, Mississippi, to a delivery point in order to provide a firm 
transportation service up to a proposed maximum of 500 to 7,000 
dekatherms per day to Entex.
    Tennessee states that it will convert the inactive 4-inch receipt 
meter (#1-1804-1), connected inactive in May 1987) to a delivery meter 
by reversing the existing 4-inch check valve and installing electronic 
gas measurement (EGM). Tennessee declares that the existing meter site 
and interconnecting pipe are within their Station 530 fee property; the 
meter is owned by Entex. Tennessee asserts that Entex will perform the 
necessary land improvements and provide and maintain an all-weather 
access road to the site, as well as install, own, and maintain the 
measurement facilities and will provide electrical service for the 
measurement facilities. Tennessee asserts that they will operate the 
measurement facilities and continue to own, operate, and maintain the 
side valve assembly as well as install, own, operate, and maintain the 
EGM, while Entex will continue to own, operate, and maintain the 
interconnecting pipe.
    Tennessee states that Entex will reimburse them for Tennessee's 
share of the project cost, which is approximately $29,600. Tennessee 
asserts that the proposed modification is not prohibited by its tariff, 
and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries at the 
delivery point without detriment or disadvantage to Tennessee's 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 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
