[Docket No. CP98-726-000]


South Georgia Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 21, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 17, 1998, South Georgia Natural Gas 
Company, (South Georgia), Post Office Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 
35202-2563, filed in Docket No. CP98-726-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to 
construct, install and operate a new delivery point, including 
measurement and appurtenant facilities for service to Peoples Gas 
System (Peoples). South Georgia makes such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-548-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    South Georgia proposes to construct and operate certain measurement 
and other appurtenant facilities in order to provide transportation 
service to Peoples at a new delivery point, so that Peoples, in turn 
may provide natural gas service to additional customers on its 
distribution system. South Georgia states that it proposes to locate 
the facilities at or near Mile Post 68.5 on the 12-inch Jacksonville 
Line in Baker County, Florida.
    In order to provide service to Peoples at the new delivery point, 
South Georgia proposes to construct, install and operate a meter 
station consisting of one 3-inch rotary meter and other appurtenant 
facilities. It is stated that South Georgia will own and operate the 
meter station as part of its pipeline system. It is indicated that 
Peoples will construct, own, and operate as part of its natural gas 
distribution system approximately 30 miles of 4-inch diameter pipeline 
extending downstream of the meter station.
    It is stated that South Georgia will transport gas on behalf of 
Peoples under South Georgia's existing Service Agreements pursuant to 
South Georgia's Rate Schedule IT. It is estimated that the average 
annual volumes for deliveries to the Baker County meter station are 
263,000 Mcf which is equivalent to an estimated daily average of 720 
Mcf. South Georgia states that the installation of the proposed 
facilities will have no adverse effect on its ability to provide its 
firm deliveries.
    It is estimated that the construction and installation of the 
measurement facilities is approximately $214,200. South Georgia avers 
that Peoples has agreed to reimburse South Georgia for the cost of 
constructing and installing the proposed facilities.
    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.

Acting Secretary.
