[Docket No. CP04-29-000]


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

December 16, 2003.
    Take notice that on December 8, 2003, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251-
1396, filed in Docket No. CP04-29-000, an application pursuant to 
sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authorization to construct and operate a new 
delivery point for the City of Monroe, a North Carolina Municipal 
Corporation (City of Monroe), under Transco's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-426-000, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Transco proposes to construct, own, and operate a delivery point in 
Iredell County, North Carolina, for a new gas transportation customer, 
City of Monroe. The proposed facilities are two 6-inch tap valve 
assemblies, a meter station with one 4-inch ultrasonic flow meter, two 
hundred feet of 6-inch inlet piping to the meter station, 4-inch bypass 
piping, 6-inch yard piping, 6-inch outlet piping from the meter 
station, pulsation dampener vessel, odorization system, electronic flow 
measurement, communications equipment, and other appurtenant 
facilities. Transco states that the City of Monroe will initially 
receive at the proposed delivery point up to 20,400 dekatherms per day 
of gas from Transco on a firm or interruptible basis at the new 
delivery point. The estimated total cost of Transco's proposed 
facilities is approximately $878,500 and the City of Monroe will 
reimburse Transco for all costs associated with such facilities. 
Transco also states that the City of Monroe currently is served by 
Piedmont Natural Gas Company but due to a variety of business reasons, 
the City of Monroe wants to have gas delivered to its municipal 
distribution system directly by the Transco system in the future.
    Transco further states that the City of Monroe will construct, own 
and operate any appurtenant facilities to enable it to receive gas from 
Transco at the proposed delivery point and move the gas to its 
distribution system. The City of Monroe's facilities will include 
approximately 38.5 miles of 10-inch pipeline extending from Transco's 
proposed delivery point to the City of Monroe's existing distribution 
facilities.

Attorney, or Scott C. Turkington, Director, Rates & Regulatory at (713)
