submitted for filing a rate schedule

under which STI will engage in

transactions at market-based rates. STI

also requested waiver of various

Commission regulations. In particular,

STI requested that the Commission

grant blanket approval under 18 CFR

part 34 of all future issuances of

securities and assumptions of liability

by STI.

On September 26, 2000, pursuant to

delegated authority, the Director,

Division of Corporate Applications,

Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates,

granted requests for blanket approval

Within thirty days of the date of the

in accordance with Rules 211 and 214

Absent a request for hearing within

liabilities as a guarantor, indorser,

that such issuance or assumption is for

some lawful object within the corporate

purposes of the applicant, and

compatible with the public interest, and

is reasonably necessary or appropriate

The Commission reserves the right to

require a further showing that neither

public nor private interests will be

[Docket No. CP00–469–000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Request For Blanket

Authorization

September 29, 2000.

Take notice that on September 21,

2000, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), a Delaware corporation,

P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252,

filed in CP00–469–000 a request

pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.208(f)(2) of the Commission’s

(Commission) Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act, as amended, (18 CFR

157.205 and 157.208(f)(2)) and

Tennessee’s blanket certificate

authorization granted in Docket No.

CP82–413–000, 20 FERC ¶ 62,409

(1982), for authorization to increase the

maximum allowable operating pressure

(MAOP) through an uprate of

Tennessee’s Mariposa-Humble and GypHill laterals located in Brooks County,

Texas, all as more fully set forth in the

request which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. The application may be

viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call

(202) 208–2222 for assistance.

Tennessee states that it proposes to

increase the MAOPs on Line No. 404A–

100 (Mariposa-Humble Line) from 794

to 908 psig and from 795 to 947 psig on

Line No. 404B–100 (Gyp-Hill Line) in

order to facilitate reliable receipt of

natural gas from producers on these

laterals. Tennessee indicates that both

pipelines are receipt side laterals that

connect to Tennessee’s parallel

mainlines known as Line Nos. 400–1

and 400–2. Tennessee then indicates

that the operating pressure of

Tennessee’s mainline facilities often

exceeds the existing MAOP of the

59410 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 194 / Thursday, October 5, 2000 / Notices

Mariposa-Humble and Gyp-hill lines

and for this reason producers can

deliver gas in the Tennessee’s system

only when the operating pressure of the

mainlines are lower than the pressure

within the supply laterals. Tennessee

states that the operating pressure on

Tennessee’s Line No. 400–1 can range as

high as 903 psig and 860 psig on Line

No. 400–2. Thus, Tennessee states that

it has proposed these uprates so it can

consistently and reliably receive natural

gas from the affected producers on these

lateral lines. Tennessee indicates that

the total cost of the uprates is estimated

to be from $5,000 to $15,000.

Tennessee states that Thomas G.

Joyce, Certificates Manager, P.O. Box

2511, Houston, Texas 77252 at (713)

420–2459 can be contacted for any

further questions on this application.

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 regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205), a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefore,

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

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.
