National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration

Within the context of its Economics

and Human Dimensions of Climate

Fluctuations Program, the Office of

Global Programs of the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration will

support research that identifies and

analyzes social and economic impacts

associated with seasonal, year-to-year,

and intradecadal climate variability;

improves our understanding of factors

that determine human vulnerability to

such fluctuations; and identifies options

for reducing vulnerability. The program

is particularly interested in learning

how advanced climate information (e.g.,

ENSO-based probabilistic climate

forecasts), as well as an improved

understanding of current coping

mechanisms, could be used for reducing

vulnerability and providing for more

efficient adjustment to these variations.

Notice of this program is included in the

Program Announcement for NOAA’s

Climate and Global Change Program,

which is published each spring in the

Federal Register. The deadline for

proposals to be considered in fiscal year

1998 is expected to be in late summer

1997. For further information, contact:

Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 8

Twenty-first Revised Sheet No. 9

Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 13

Twenty-fourth Revised Sheet No. 18

ANR states that the above-referenced

tariff sheets are being filed to cancel the

carrying costs that have been incurred

by ANR during the period September 1,

1996 through November 30, 1996 as a

result of the implementation of Order

Nos. 636, et seq. ANR proposes a

reservation fee surcharge applicable to

its Part 284 firm transportation

customers to recover ninety percent

(90%) of the PD costs, and an

adjustment to the maximum base tariff

rates applicable to Rate Schedule ITS

and overrun service rendered pursuant

to Rate Schedule FTS–2, so as to recover

the remaining ten percent (10%). ANR

has requested that the Commission

accept the tendered sheets to become

effective February 1, 1997. Due to the

expiring surcharges noted above, ANR

advises that its PD surcharge will

decrease from $0.357 to $0.157 as a

result of this filing.

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

February 5, 1997.

Take notice that on January 30, 1997,

Florida Gas Transmission Company

(FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston,

Texas, 77002, filed in the above docket,

a request pursuant to Sections 157.205

and 157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

for authorization to construct a new

delivery point under FGT’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

553–000 pursuant to Section 7(c), all as

more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Specifically, FGT proposes to

construct a new tee, valve, less than 100

feet of 8-inch connecting lateral and

EFM equipment in Pinellas County,

Florida, to accommodate gas deliveries

to FPC’s proposed meter station to

receive interruptible gas volumes. FPC

has requested FGT to construct a new

delivery point in Pinellas County,

Florida, to connect to the Bartow-B

Meter Station that FPC will construct in

Pinellas County, Florida. FGT states that

FPC would reimburse it for all

construction costs; estimated to be

$80,362. FGT proposes to deliver up to

2,600 MMBtu of gas per hour at line

pressure. Initial deliveries will be

approximately 1,300 MMBtu per hour.

FPC proposes to construct, own and

operate the meter station and

approximately 450 feet of 10-inch; 75

feet of 8-inch; and 150 feet of 6-inch

pipe of non-jurisdiction pipeline

connecting the meter station to FPC

Bartow Plant.

FGT states that the natural gas

volumes delivered to this delivery point

will be interruptible volumes and

therefore will not disadvantage FGT’s

other existing customers.

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 Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to

intervene or notice of intervention and

pursuant to Section 157.205 of the

Regulations 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

is deemed to be authorized effective on

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.

Secretary.

Corporation (MRT) submitted for filing

a request for waiver of the provisions of

Section 2.5 of Rate Schedule SCT of

remaining Rate Schedule SCT capacity

converted to Rate Schedule FTS

as may be necessary to allow the

transactions contemplated in the filing

to become effective as proposed.

MRT states that copies of this filing

have been mailed to each of MRT’s

customers and the State Commissions of

Arkansas, Illinois, and Missouri.
