Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

[Docket No. CP98–75–000]

November 17, 1997.

Take notice that on November 7,

1997, Florida Gas Transmission

Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, P.O.

Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251–1188,

filed in Docket No. CP98–075–000 a

request pursuant to Sections 157.205

and 157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for

authorization to upgrade an existing

meter station in Lake County, Florida,

under FGT’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–553–000 pursuant to

Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as

more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

The meter station is currently being

used to deliver gas to TECO Peoples Gas

(TECO), and the upgrade is necessary to

accommodate an increase in hourly

peak demands from 142 MMBtu to 272

MMBtu of natural gas, as indicated by

FGT. Specifically, FGT proposes to

upgrade the subject meter station by

replacing the existing 4-inch meter

bypass spool with an 4-inch Ansi Class

150 Senior meter tube at an estimated

cost of $30,000 of which TECO would

reimburse FGT. FGT states that the

proposed upgrade would not increase

contractual deliveries to TECO above

the currently authorized levels of firm

service.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of
