Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 11, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 3, 1999, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, 
Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in Docket No. CP99-193-000

[[Page 8079]]

a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for 
authorization to construct, own, maintain and operate a new point of 
delivery on its existing 30-inch Line Nos. 15 and 25 in Wilson County, 
Tennessee, to make deliveries to Middle Tennessee Natural Utility 
District (Middle Tennessee), a municipal distribution company and 
existing Texas Eastern customer, under the blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP82-535-000, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
application may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us. Call (202) 
208-2222 for assistance.
    Texas Eastern proposes to construct, install, own, operate and 
maintain dual 8-inch tap valves, dual 8-inch check valves and related 
piping (tap). Additionally, Texas Eastern will install, own, operate 
and maintain dual 6-inch turbine meters with associated piping and 
valves (meter station), approximately 100 feet of 8-inch pipeline 
(connecting pipe), and electronic gas measurement equipment (EGM). 
Texas Eastern states that the maximum daily delivery capacity of the 
proposed delivery point will be approximately 50 MMCF/D.
    Texas Eastern estimates the cost for the proposed project to be 
approximately $1,485,000 in 1999 dollars. Texas Eastern states that 
pursuant to Section 11.2 of its General Terms and Conditions of its 
FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, it is waiving the facility 
cost reimbursement requirement set forth in Section 11.1 of the General 
Terms and Conditions. Texas Eastern claims that it is entering into a 
new long-term firm service agreement with Middle Tennessee pursuant to 
its Rate Schedule FT-1. This service agreement will have a primary term 
of twelve years, will be subject to the maximum rates applicable to 
Rate Schedule FT-1, and will result in annual reservation charge 
revenue of approximately $549,000. Therefore, according to Texas 
Eastern, the new Rate Schedule FT-1 service agreement with Middle 
Tennessee will make construction of the facilities economical to Texas 
Eastern.
    Texas Eastern states that it will provide service to the proposed 
delivery point by using existing capacity on its system and it will 
have no effect on its peak day or annual deliveries. Texas Eastern has 
sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment or 
disadvantage to its 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 not protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
