Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 16, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 8, 1999, Midwestern Gas Transmission 
Company (Midwestern), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed 
in Docket No. CP99-198-000, a request pursuant to Secs. 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 install and operate a new 
delivery tap to provide service for Indiana Gas Company (Indiana), a 
local distribution company, in Vigo County, Indiana, under Midwestern's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-414-000, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, 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.
    Specifically, Midwestern proposes to install an 8-inch single hot 
tap, check valve, approximately 50 feet of 8-inch diameter 
interconnecting pipe, and electronic gas measurement equipment. 
Midwestern proposes to install the facilities on its existing pipeline, 
located near Milepost 2114-1+0.78 in Vigo County to satisfy Indiana's 
request for natural gas service. Midwestern states that the volumes 
proposed to be delivered to Indiana will be pursuant to Midwestern's 
blanket transportation certificate in Docket No. CP90-174-000 and the 
service will be under its Rate Schedules FT-A or IT. Midwestern says 
that Indiana estimates its peak day requirements will be 60,000 Mcf per 
day with an average day being 5,000 Mcf per day.
    Midwestern reports that the estimated cost of installing this 
project will be $93,200, which will be reimbursed fully by Indiana. 
Midwestern indicates that it can render the proposed service without 
detriment to its other existing customers, and that its tariff does not 
prohibit the proposed installation of these facilities.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, 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 Sec. 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.
