Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-798-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 1, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 24, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251-
1188, filed in Docket No. CP98-798-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205, 157.212 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 
157.205, 157.212, and 157.216) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for 
authorization to replace an existing tap, regulator station, meter 
station and connecting pipeline, all located in Leon and Wakulla 
Counties, Florida, under FGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
CP82-553-000, 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.
    FGT proposes to abandon an existing regulator station and 
connecting pipe in Leon County, Florida, installed to deliver gas to 
the City of Tallahassee (Tallahassee) for its Purdom Plant, and to 
construct a new delivery tap on its 36-inch mainline, a new regulatory 
station and less than 50 feet of 12-inch connecting pipeline in Leon 
County. FGT also proposes to abandon an existing meter station and 
approximately 300 feet of 12-inch connecting pipeline in Wakulla 
County, Florida, and to construct a new meter station and connecting 
pipeline in

Wakulla County. FGT states that the proposed abandonment and 
replacement of facilities is necessitated by the expansion of the 
Purdom Plant in Wakulla County, which requires the relocation of the 
Purdom Station.
    It is asserted that FGT will deliver up to 2,400 MMBtu equivalent 
of natural gas per hour to Tallahassee. It is estimated that the 
construction cost of the proposed facilities will be approximately 
$1,600,000, inclusive of tax gross-up. It is asserted that FGT will be 
reimbursed by Tallahassee for all costs and expenses incurred in 
connection with the construction. It is explained that the proposed 
deliveries will come from existing volumes within existing 
transportation contracts and will not impact FGT's existing peak day or 
annual deliveries and will not disadvantage FTG's other existing 
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.

Secretary.
