157.208 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR Sections 157.205 and 157.208) for authorization to replace 
approximately 6.6 miles of existing St Petersburg 12-inch lateral gas 
transmission lines located in east-central Pinellas County, Florida, 
under the authorization issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully described in the 
request.

    FGT states that there are five (5) sections of the 12-inch St. 
Petersburg lateral that need to be replaced. In addition to the 12-inch 
pipeline to be replaced, FGT indicates that it intends to install a 12-
inch pig launcher and receiver, and replace block valves BV 24-10 and 
24-11. FGT contends that the additional installations would allow for 
passage of a pipeline integrity tool to be run after the segments are 
replaced.
    FGT asserts that the proposed project is required to upgrade and 
repair line sections and valves which have been in service for an 
extended period of time. FGT maintains that the replaced pipe would be 
filled with grout and abandoned in place. FGT concludes that the total 
costs for the project is estimated to be $19,987,000.
    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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
