[Docket No. CP99-41-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 5, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 29, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP99-41-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 
and 157.212) for authorization to construct, own and operate a new 
delivery point on FGT's 36-inch mainline to accommodate natural gas 
deliveries to Clark-Mobile Counties Gas District (Clark-Mobile), in 
Mobile County, Alabama. FGT makes such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file 
with the Commission.
    FGT proposes to construct, own, and operate a new delivery point on 
FGT's 36-inch mainline on the discharge side of Compressor Station 11, 
to accommodate the transportation of natural gas to Clark-Mobile's 
Mount Vernon B Meter Station (Mt. Vernon B). FGT states that it will 
own an 8-inch hot tap on its 36-inch mainline, 250 feet of 6-inch 
connecting lateral and electronic flow measurement facilities, and that 
Clark-Mobile will construct and own the Mt. Vernon B meter station and 
regulator station. It is indicated that Clark-Mobile requested this 
additional tap on the discharge side of FGT's 36-inch mainline to allow 
delivery of gas to Clark-Mobile at a higher pressure to serve customers 
requiring higher pressures than FGT can deliver from the suction side 
of Compressor Station 11.
    The maximum gas quantity that FGT will deliver into the existing 
meter station is 28,800 MMBtu per day or 10,512,000 MMBtu per year to 
serve an interruptible load to Clark-Mobile's customers. It is averred 
that the end use of the gas will primarily be for industrial, 
commercial, and residential uses.
    The estimated total cost of the proposed construction is 
approximately $128,000, inclusive of tax gross up. It is stated that 
Clark-Mobile will reimburse FGT for all costs directly and indirectly 
incurred by FGT for the construction of the facilities proposed herein. 
It is indicated that to the extent such reimbursement qualifies as a 
contribution in aid of construction under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, 
Clark-Mobile agrees to reimburse FGT for income tax incurred by FGT.
    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.
