Authorization

September 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 10, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-770-000 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 construct and operate a 
delivery point to serve a new customer, LSP Energy Limited Partnership 
(LSP), an electric power generator located in Panola County, 
Mississippi, under Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
CP82-413-000, pursuant to Section 7 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.
    Tennessee proposes to construct and operate a new delivery point on 
its system to provide up to 216,000 Mcf (approximately 219,240 
dekatherms) of natural gas per day to LSP at a new electric power 
generating plant which LSP will build in Panola County, Mississippi. 
Tennessee proposes to install two 12-inch tap assemblies on its 100 
Line at approximately Mile Post (M.P.) 63-3+6.8 and M.P. 63-4+6.8, and 
that the construction will take place on its existing right-of-way. In 
addition, Tennessee states that it will install electronic gas 
measurement (EGM) and communications equipment, gas chromatograph 
equipment, a building for the EGM, communications, and chromatograph 
equipment on an adjacent site to be provided by LSP and valving and 
appurtenant facilities. Tennessee states it will own, operate and 
maintain the hot tap assemblies, the EGM and communications equipments, 
the chromatograph equipment, the building for the EGM, communications, 
and chromatograph equipment and the valving and appurtenant facilities. 
Tennessee states that LSP will install, own, operate and maintain the 
interconnecting piping and other appurtenant facilities and will 
install, own, and maintain the measurement facilities. Tennessee states 
that it will operate the measurement facilities, and that LSP will 
reimburse Tennessee for the cost of the project which is estimated to 
be $231,000.
    Tennessee states that the addition of the proposed delivery point 
is not expected to have any significant impact on Tennessee's peak day 
and annual deliveries. Further, Tennessee states that it will have 
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries at the delivery point 
without detriment or disadvantage to Tennessee's other customers. 
Tennessee also states that the construction of this delivery point is 
not prohibited by Tennessee's existing tariff, and that the total 
volumes to be

delivered to LSP after the construction of the delivery point is 
completed will not exceed the total quantities authorized prior to the 
construction of the delivery point.
    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.
