[Docket No. CP99-278-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

April 5, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 31, 1999, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-278-000 a request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct a delivery point 
for Rockingham Power L.L.C. (RP), a provider of electricity and energy 
services in North Carolina, under Transco's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP82-426-000 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. The application may be 
viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us. Call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance.
    Transco states that the delivery point will consist of two sixteen-
inch (16'') valve tap assemblies, a meter station with one eight-inch 
(8'') orifice meter tube and two twelve-inch (12'') orifice meter 
tubes, and other appurtenant facilities. The proposed delivery point 
will be installed at or near milepost 1368.36 on Transco's mainline in 
Rockingham County, North Carolina. Transco states that RP will 
construct, or cause to be constructed, appurtenant facilities to enable 
it to receive gas from Transco at such point and move the gas to a new 
RP winter/summer peaking power facility.
    Transco states the new delivery point will be used by RP to receive 
up to 221.8 MMcf (at 500 psig) of gas per day from Transco on a 
capacity release, secondary firm or interruptible basis. The gas 
delivered through the new delivery point will be used by RP as fuel for 
its peaking power facility. Transco states that RP is not currently a 
transportation customer of Transco. Upon completion of the delivery 
point, Transco will commence transportation service to RP or its 
suppliers pursuant to Transco's Rate Schedules FT, FT-R or IT and part 
284(G) of the Commission regulations. The addition of the delivery 
point will have no significant impact on Transco's peak day or annual 
deliveries, and is not prohibited by Transco's FERC Gas Tariff.
    Transco has estimated the total costs of Transco's proposed 
facilities to be approximately $1,158,000.00. RP will reimburse Transco 
for all costs associated with such facilities.
    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,
Acting Secretary.
