    Take notice that on June 1, 1999 Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-540-000 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 operate as a jurisdictional 
facility a 20-inch tap constructed and placed in service under Section 
311(a) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) to facilitate 
delivery of natural gas on behalf of Acadian Gas Pipeline Company 
(Acadian), an intrastate pipeline company, in St. Charles Parish, 
Louisiana, under Koch Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP82-430, 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).
    Koch Gateway requests authorization to place into jurisdictional 
service a 20-inch tap installed under Section 311(a) of the NGPA and 
Section 284.3(c) of the Commission's regulations. This facility is 
located on Koch Gateway's pipeline designated as Index 300, in St. 
Charles Parish, Louisiana.
    Koch Gateway states that, currently, use of this facility is 
limited solely to shippers utilizing transportation service under Part 
284, Subpart B of the Commission's regulations. Koch Gateway further 
states that upon approval of this request for certification, Acadian 
will be able to receive gas transported to this facility pursuant to 
jurisdictional open-access transportation agreements as well as Part 
284, Subpart B facilities will provide Acadian access to shippers 
utilizing Natural Gas Act transportation service and, thus, will 
provide Acadian with additional flexibility in obtaining gas supplies. 
Koch Gateway also states that Acadian estimates its peak day 
requirements for this facility are 200,000 Dth, and that such 
quantities will be transported pursuant to Koch Gateway's Firm 
Transportation Service and Interruptible Transportation Service Rate 
Schedules.
    Koch Gateway states that certification of the subject facility will 
not have an impact on its peak day and annual deliveries because no 
change in service is proposed. Koch Gateway further states that it will 
continue operate the facility in compliance with 18 CFR, Part 157, 
Subpart F; that it has sufficient capacity to render the proposed 
service without detriment or disadvantage to its other existing 
customers; and that its tariff does not prohibit the proposed change in 
jurisdictional status of the subject facilities or the addition of new 
delivery points.
    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.

Acting Secretary.
