    Take notice that on September 18, 1998, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern) 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 
77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP98-792-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act for authorization to construct a delivery point in 
Madison County, Kentucky, so that Texas Eastern may provide natural gas 
deliveries to Delta Natural Gas Company (Delta), a local distribution 
company and existing Texas Eastern customer. Texas Eastern makes this

    Texas Eastern proposes to construct and install dual 2-inch tap 
valves, dual 2-inch isolation valves, a 2-inch check valve and a 2-inch 
insulating flange on Texas Eastern's existing 30-inch Line Nos. 10 and 
15 at approximate Mile Post 457.99 in Madison County, Kentucky (Tap). 
In addition to the facilities described above, Delta will install, or 
cause to be installed, a dual 2-inch turbine meter plus associated 
piping (Meter Station), approximately 100 feet of 2-inch pipeline which 
will extend from the Meter Station to the Tap (Connecting Pipe), and 
electronic gas measurement equipment (EGM).
    Delta will reimburse Texas Eastern for 100% of the costs and 
expenses that Texas Eastern will incur for installing the Tap and for 
reviewing and inspecting the installation of the Meter Station, 
Connecting Pipe, and EGM. Such costs and expenses are estimated to be 
approximately $34,611, including an allowance for federal income taxes.
    Texas Eastern states that the transportation service will be 
rendered pursuant to Texas Eastern's Open Access Rate Schedules of 
Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Volume No. 1. Texas Eastern's existing 
tariff does not prohibit the addition of this facility. Texas Eastern 
states that the installation of the delivery point will have no effect 
on Texas Eastern's peak day or annual deliveries. Texas Eastern submits 
that its proposal will be accomplished without detriment or 
disadvantage to Texas Eastern'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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
