[Docket No. CP98-772-000]


Black Marlin Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 18, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 10, 1998, Black Marlin Pipeline 
Company (Black Marlin), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-772-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to abandon by sale to 
Houston Pipe Line Company (HPL) certain measuring and regulating 
facilities in Galveston County, Texas, under Black Marlin's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP89-2115-000, 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.
    Black Marlin proposes to abandon the measuring and regulating 
facilities at two interconnections between Black Marlin and HPL (HPL 
Texas City and HPL Grant Avenue Stations). It is stated that both 
interconnections were constructed under Commission authorization in 
Docket No. CP84-354-000 as part of a 13-mile extension of its pipeline 
system. It is asserted that Black Marlin proposes to sell the 
facilities to HPL in response to a request from HPL. It is further 
asserted that HPL will continue to use the facilities as part of its 
distribution system to serve its gas system and that there will be no 
loss of service to any customer. Black Marlin states that the proposal 
is not prohibited by its FERC gas tariff and that it has sufficient 
capacity without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 14 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
