[Docket No. CP04-99-000]


Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 8, 2004.
    Take notice that on April 1, 2004, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC 
(Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, filed in Docket 
No. CP04-99-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.208(b) 
of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to replace the existing turbine 
at the Jeffersontown Compressor Station of Texas Gas in Jefferson 
County, Kentucky, under the authorization issued in Docket No. CP82-
479-000 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully 
described in the request.
    Copies of this request are on file with the Commission and are 
available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the 
Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, please contact FERC 
Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Texas Gas asserts that the proposed replacement is necessary in 
order to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions at the Texas Gas Jeffersontown 
Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Kentucky. Texas Gas states that 
the existing turbine/compressor package (T-1 unit) is rated at 12,090 
NEMA horsepower. Texas Gas states further that the T-1 unit will be 
replaced with a new Solar Mars Model 100-T15000S gas turbine packaged 
with a Solar C652 two-stage gas compressor (T-2 unit). The T-2 unit, it 
is said, is rated at 13,330 NEMA horsepower. Texas Gas points out that 
the replacement would result in a net increase in the installed 
horsepower at the Jeffersontown of 1,240 HP. Texas Gas concludes that 
the additional horsepower at Jeffersontown would not increase the 
overall capacity of the pipeline system, as no additional gas can flow 
through the upstream constraints at Greenville, nor continue to flow 
through Jeffersontown through the downstream constraints through 
Dillsboro.
    Texas Gas maintains that the estimated cost to install the 
replacement unit would be $13.5 million and would be financed from 
funds generated internally.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
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 Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for 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 NGA.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.

Linda Mitry,
Acting Secretary.
