[Docket No. CP99-562-000]


Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 23, 1999.
    Take notice that on June 15, 1999, Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C. 
(Destin), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, tendered for 
filing in Docket No. CP99-562-000 a request pursuant to sections 
157.205, 157.208, and 211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.208, and 157.211) for 
authorization to construct, install and operate a lateral pipeline and 
appurtenant facilities under Destin's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket Nos. CP96-657-000 and 001, 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).
    The lateral would accommodate the transportation of natural gas 
production from a new production platform to be located in Main Pass 
Block 283 (Main Pass 283 Platform) for connection into Destin's 24-inch 
lateral line in Main Pass Block 279 (Main Pass 279) for ultimate 
delivery to downstream pipeline interconnections in southern and 
central Mississippi.
    Specifically, Destin is proposing to construct, install and operate 
(i) approximately one thousand three hundred fifty (1,350) feet of 12-
inch OD lateral pipeline from the Main Press 283 Platform to a subsea 
tap on Destin's existing 24-inch lateral in Main Pass 279, in Federal 
Waters, Gulf of Mexico;

(ii) one (1) receipt measurement facility located on the Main Pass 283 
Platform through which Destin will receive the natural gas produced 
from the Main Pass 283 Platform; and (iii) one (1) delivery measurement 
facility located on the Main Pass 283 Platform through which Destin 
will deliver natural gas to the Main Pass 283 operator for start-up and 
gas-lift needs.
    The estimated cost of the construction and installation of the 
facilities in $4.6 million. However, out of an abundance of caution and 
concern for possible cost overruns that may cause the project to exceed 
the $7.2 million limit for automatic authorization, Destin elected to 
request authorization, Destin elected to request authorization pursuant 
to the Commission's prior notice procedures.
    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.

Secretary.
