[Docket No. CP99-257-000]


Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 23, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 16, 1999, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-257-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon a measurement 
facility at a delivery point under Southern's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may be 
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-
208-2222 for assistance).
    Southern states that it provided transportation service on behalf 
of Northern Natural Gas Company to the Allied Chemicals Corporation's 
Allied-Geismer Plant, pursuant to Commission Order in Docket No. CP82-
101-000 dated April 9, 1982. The service expired under the terms of the 
Certificate Order on October 31, 1984. Accordingly, Southern requests 
authorization to abandon the Allied-Geismer Meter Station.
    Southern states that it seeks to abandon the meter station at the 
delivery point because the meter station has not been operational for 
over ten years and the customer has not requested service from 
Southern. In addition, the service for which Southern constructed the 
facilities to serve the plant has expired by its own terms. The 
delivery point Southern seeks to abandon is designated as the Allied-
Geismer Meter Station (Point Code 823600) and is located near Mile Post 
36.159 on Southern's 20-inch Duck Lake-Franklinton Line in Iberville 
Parish, Louisiana.
    The abandonment of the meter station facility is required by the 
present and future public convenience and necessity, will decrease 
maintenance costs for Southern and will not result in any termination 
of natural gas service. The proposed abandonment of the facility is not 
prohibited by any existing tariff of Southern. The rate schedule under 
which Southern provided service to the Meter Station has been canceled.
    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 allow 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
