East Tennessee Natural Gas; Notice of

Request Under Blanket Authorization

September 24, 1997.

Take notice that on September 19,

1997, East Tennessee Natural Gas (East

Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston,

Texas 77252–2511, filed in Docket No.

CP97–762–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205, 157.212(a), and

157.216(b) of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212(a), and

157.216(b) for authorization to modify

the Coatney Road Measurement Station

(Coatney Rd. Station) and to abandon

the existing portable rotary meter station

which serves Knoxville Utilities Board

(KUB), a local distribution company, all

in Knox County, Tennessee, under the

blanket certificate issued in Docket No.

CP82–412–000, all as more fully set

forth in the request which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

East Tennessee states that the existing

meter at the Coatney Rd. Station is rated

for only 275 psig. East Tennessee notes

that KUB has a pressure regulation

station located immediately

downstream of the Coatney Rd. Station

which is designed and constructed for

East Tennessee’s mainline pressure of

640 psig. According to East Tennessee,

KUB has requested that the Coatney Rd.

Station be at 640 psig. In order to meet

KUB’s request, East Tennessee proposes

to perform the following modifications

to the Coatney Rd. Station: (1) Replace

the existing portable measurement and

regulation station which includes

removing screwed pipe; (2) relocate

approximately sixteen feet of two-inch

diameter piping between East Tennessee

and KUB from above ground to

underground; (3) install one Energy

Economics high pressure positive

displacement meter; (4) install a block

valve and a by-pass valve; (5) replace

the existing shelter with a new shelter

which will be approximately 10′L x 10′

W x 8′H; and (6) install new meter run

piping which is two-inch diameter

piping that would extend approximately

five feet on each side of the meter.

East Tennessee estimates that cost

that it will pay for the project will be

$98,000. East Tennessee contends that it

will own, operate and maintain the

facilities. East Tennessee asserts that

there will be no impact on peak or

annual deliveries because it is not

proposing to increase KUB’s maximum

contract quantity. East Tennessee states

it has attached copies of its blanket

clearance letters from the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service and the Tennessee

Historical Commission. Additionally,

East Tennessee states that it sent a

notification of the request to the

Tennessee Public Service Commission

of the proposed abandonment of this

facility. East Tennessee states that the

proposal is not prohibited by an existing

tariff, and East Tennessee has sufficient

capacity to accomplish the deliveries

specified without detriment or

disadvantage to its other customers. East

Tennessee submitted the letter dated

September 11, 1997 from KUB to East

Tennessee, in which KUB notes its

consent to the abandonment of the old

meter.

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 Regulation 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

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.

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Filing

September 24, 1997.

Take notice that on September 19,

1997, Florida Gas Transmission

Company (FGT) tendered for filing as

part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third

Revised Volume No. 1 the following

tariff sheet:

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 131

Sixth Revised Sheet No. 132

Second Revised Sheet No. 133

FGT states that it proposes two

changes in order to achieve the original

purpose of the Cash-Out provisions as

contained in Section 14.B of the General

Terms and Conditions of FGT’s tariff.

First, FGT proposes that the Cash-Out

indices be modified such that: (1) For

imbalances due FGT the Posted Price

equal the highest of the monthly average

spot prices for Mustang Island (Tivoli),

Vermilion Parish or St. Helena Parish,

as reported in Natural Gas Week, and (2)

for imbalances due the Imbalance Party

the Posted Price equal the lowest of the

monthly average spot prices for Mustang

Island (Tivoli), Vermilion Parish or St.

Helena Parish, as reported in Natural

Gas Week. FGT believes that these

changes may work to achieve a portion

of the previous price premium of the St.

Helena Parish over the Mustang Island

(Tivoli). In addition, FGT proposes that

the Imbalance Level Factors for

imbalance levels of up to 5% be

modified such that: (1) For imbalances

due FGT the Imbalance Level Factor be

increased from the current 1.00 to 1.05

and (2) for imbalances due the

Imbalance Party, the Imbalance Level

Factor be decreased from 1.00 to 0.95.

FGT believes that modification of the

Imbalance Level Factor is required

because the differential between the

high index and low index may be very

small and therefore insufficient to

discourage gaming. FGT believes that

absent the proposed changes, FGT’s

Cash-Out provisions no longer provide

a disincentive for shippers to swing on

FGT’s system line pack.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with Sections 385.211

and 385.214 of the Commission’s Rules

and Regulations. All such motions or

protests must be filed as provided by

Section 154.210 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. Protests will be

considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room.
