[Docket No. CP98-671-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

July 22, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 15, 1998, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251-1396, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-671-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct, own, and operate 
a new delivery point (Yates Delivery Point), located in Coweta County, 
Georgia, for Georgia Power Company (Georgia Power), an electric 
generation and distribution company, under Transco's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000, 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.
    Transco proposes that the Yates Delivery Point will consist of two 
16-inch valve tap assemblies, a meter station with four 12-inch meter 
tubes, and other appurtenant facilities near milepost 1011.25 on 
Transco's Mainline, located in Coweta County, Georgia. Transco states 
that Georgia Power will construct, or cause to be constructed, 
appurtenant facilities to enable it to receive gas from Transco at the 
Yates Delivery Point for use as fuel at the Yates Power Plant in Coweta 
County, Georgia.
    Transco states that the new Yates Delivery Point will be used by 
Georgia Power to receive up to the dekatherms equivalent of 369,000 Mcf 
of gas per day from Transco. Transco declares that the gas delivered 
through the new Yates Delivery Point will be received by Georgia Power 
for fuel in its capacity as an electric generation and distribution 
company. Transco asserts that Georgia Power is not currently a 
transportation customer of Transco. Upon completion of the Yates 
Delivery Point, Transco states it will commence transportation service 
to Georgia Power pursuant to Transco's Rate Schedules FT-R or IT and 
Part 284(G) of the Commission's Regulations. Transco declares that 
Georgia Power may have access in the future to Rate Schedule FT service 
in the event Georgia Power becomes a replacement shipper for a 
permanent release of firm capacity or if new firm capacity becomes 
available through an expansion of Transco's system.
    Transco states that the estimated total cost of Transco's proposed 
facilities is approximately $1,005,000, with Georgia Power reimbursing 
them for all costs associated with such facilities. Transco asserts 
that the addition of the Yates Delivery Point will have no significant 
impact on Transco's peak day or annual deliveries, and is not 
prohibited by their FERC Gas Tariff.
    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 Sec. 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.
