[Docket No. CP98-762-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 14, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 4, 1998, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. 
CP98-762-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), (18 CFR 
157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to operate under the provisions 
of Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act an existing interconnection in 
Beaver County, Oklahoma, that was constructed pursuant to Section 311 
of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. ANR makes such request under its 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-480-000 pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGPA), all as more fully set forth in 
the request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    ANR states that in February 1998, it constructed and placed into 
service an interconnection, Land O' Lakes Interconnection, with the 
facilities of Land O' Lakes, Inc., in Beaver County, Oklahoma. It is 
stated that ANR's interconnection facilities consist of a 2-inch 
positive displacement meter, a meter building, two 2-inch insulating 
flanges, a 4-inch tap valve, and an electronic measurement system. ANR 
avers the cost of the facilities as approximately $71,700.00 which was 
fully reimbursed by Land O' Lakes. ANR indicates that the Land O' Lakes 
Interconnection is designed to accommodate flow rates from 0 MMcf daily 
to 0.4 MMcf daily. ANR further states that the Land O' Lakes 
Interconnection was constructed pursuant to the authority of NGPA 
Section 311, and that said construction

will be reported in ANR's 1998 annual report of NGPA Section 311 
construction.
    ANR states it delivers natural gas at the Land O' Lakes 
Interconnection under its Rate Schedule ITS, and that the, on behalf 
of, entity for whom natural gas is transported at that interconnection 
is Transok, Inc., an intrastate pipeline company located in Tulsa, 
Oklahoma. It is further stated the pursuant to Section 284.102(d)(3) of 
the Commission's regulations, ANR received the, on behalf of, 
certification from its shipper by a letter submitted on November 20, 
1997.
    ANR indicates that the authorization that it is seeking in this 
request, will eliminate the current restriction on its usage, i.e., to 
qualifying transactions under NGPA Section 311, thereby providing 
greater service flexibility and choices for the market. It is stated 
that the operation of the Land O' Lakes Interconnection will have no 
adverse impact on annual entitlement of any of ANR's existing 
customers. ANR further states that the authorization to operate this 
existing interconnection, under the provisions of Section 7 of the NGA, 
will not impact ANR's gas supply situation and that deliveries of 
natural gas at this point can be made without detriment or disadvantage 
to any existing customer of ANR.
    It is stated that the volumes to be delivered are within the 
certified entitlement of the customer.
    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.

Secretary.
