[Docket No. CP00–395–000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Request Under

Blanket Authorization

June 28, 2000.

Take notice that on June 21, 2000,

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco), Post Office box

1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in

Docket No. CP00–395–000 a request

pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.208 of the Commission’s

Regulations (18 CFR 157.205 and

157.208) under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for authorization to modify all of

its existing reciprocating engines at

Compressor Station No. 40 in Hardin

County, Texas under Transco’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

426–000, et al. pursuant to section 7 of

the NGA, all as more fully set forth in

the application which 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/htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

Transco requests authorization to

install turbochargers and associated

equipment on all 6 of the reciprocating

engines in order to reduce NOX

emissions and to comply with the State

of Texas plan to implement the Clean

Air Act Amendments of 1990. Transco

states that the facilities will be used to

reduce emissions by achieving a true

lean air-fuel ratio, inject high pressure

fuel directly into the power cylinders

and make other engine adjustments.

Transco also indicates that the true lean

air-fuel ratio coupled with the high

pressure fuel injection works by

promoting stable combustion

characteristics and thus reduces the

formation of NOX. Transco further states

that the injection of high pressure fuel

directly into the power cylinders

significantly improves the combustion

process by producing a more

homogeneous mixture of air and fuel

within the power cylinder. Transco

estimates the cost of the facilities at

$10,200,000.00.

Any questions regarding the

application may be directed to Scott

Long, at Transco Gas Pipe Line

Corporation, P.O. Box 1396, Houston,

Texas 77251, (713) 215–2731.

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 NGA (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 NGA.
