Rankin County, Mississippi. Koch

Gateway avers that the cost of

constructing the tap, approximately

$83,000 was fully reimbursed by

Mississippi Valley. Koch Gateway

further states that certification of this

provide Mississippi Valley with

additional flexibility in obtaining gas

supplies, thus enabling Mississippi

Valley to receive gas shipped to this

point pursuant to jurisdictional openaccess transportation agreements as well

as Section 311 agreements. The estimated peak day requirement

for this delivery point is 1,300 MMBtu.

It is indicated that the gas volumes will

be transported pursuant to Koch

Gateway’s No Notice Service (NNS)

Transportation Rate Schedule. Koch

Gateway avers that it has sufficient

capacity to render the proposed service

without detriment or disadvantage to its

other existing customers. Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

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protest is filed and not withdrawn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
