Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-712-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

August 12, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 6, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-712-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of 
the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to modify an existing gas 
measurement station for use as a delivery point in Jefferson County, 
Texas, under FTG's blanket certification issued in Docket No. CP82-553-
000, pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in 
the request that is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    FGT states that the measurement station was authorized by the 
Commission under budget-type certification authorization in Docket No. 
CP79-302 and placed in service as a receipt point in 1981. FGT now 
proposes to modify the facilities so that they can be used for 
deliveries to Midcon Texas Pipeline Operator, Inc. (Midcon). FGT 
asserts that no customers are presently receiving gas at this 
measurement station and FGT does not anticipate any future use of the 
facilities to receive gas into its system.
    It is stated that the facilities will be used to deliver up to 
100,000 MMBtu equivalent of natural gas on a peak day and 36,500,000 
MMBtu equivalent on an annual basis to Midcon. It is explained that the 
end-use of the gas would be commercial, industrial and residential. It 
is stated that FGT's FERC Gas Tariff does not prohibit additional 
delivery points. It is explained that the volume of gas delivered to 
Midcon will be within existing authorized levels of service and that 
the proposal will not have any adverse impact on FGT's peak day and 
annual deliveries. It is asserted that FGT has sufficient capacity to 
continue all services without detriment or disadvantage to FGT'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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
