[Docket No. CP97-221-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Petition to Amend

February 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on January 31, 1997, Texas Gas Transmission 
Company, (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-221-000, a petition to amend the certificate 
of public convenience and necessity issued on June 2, 1980 in Docket 
No. CP80-196, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 
and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, to construct and operate facilities at the Midland No. 3 
Compressor Station located at the Midland Gas Storage Field in 
Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Texas Gas seeks to increase the horsepower at its Midland No. 3 
Compressor Station by uprating the currently installed Cooper Bessemer 
GMVH-10M engine. Specifically, Texas Gas would increase the maximum 
horsepower output from 2,250 horsepower to 2,610 horsepower at 40 
degrees Fahrenheit and below. Texas Gas avers that the additional 
horsepower will aid Texas Gas in meeting peak day requirements but will 
not increase the maximum daily withdrawal capability at the Midland Gas 
Storage field.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 5, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, 
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any 
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by section 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
