[Docket No. CP99–94–003]

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Application

November 9, 2000.

Take notice that on November 3,

2000, Florida Gas Transmission

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

Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251–1188,

filed in Docket No. CP99–94–003,

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission)

Regulations, to amend its certificate

issued in Docket Nos. CP99–94–000 and

–001 on February 28, 2000, to modify

certain facilities located in Hillsborough

County, Florida, all as more fully set

forth in the application which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection. This filing may be

viewed at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

As part of the Phase IV Expansion

FGT was authorized to construct the

Tampa South Lateral Extension (5.62

miles of 4-inch line starting at the

terminus of the existing Tampa South

Lateral near mile post 16.5) and a

measurement and regulation station,

located at the end of the extension, to

serve as a gas delivery point to National

Gypsum Company (National Gypsum).

By this amendment, FGT seeks

authorization to: (1) Change the route of

the Tampa South Lateral Extension by

constructing approximately 6.18 miles

of pipeline (starting at mile post 14.8 on

the existing Tampa South Lateral); (2)

change the pipe diameter by

constructing the first 5.97 miles as 6-

inch; and the last 0.21 miles as 8-inch

pipeline; and (3) change the location of

the regulation station to mile post 5.97

on the Tampa South Lateral Extension.

The National Gypsum measurement

station will not be relocated.

FGT explains that, as amended: (1)

The new route for the Tampa South

Lateral Extension will result in less of

an impact to the environment; (2) the

upsizing of the first 5.97 miles of

pipeline to 6-inch diameter will

accommodate future gas deliveries by

FGT to Big Bend Transfer Company (Big

Bend); and (3) relocating the

construction of the regulation station to

a site 0.21 miles upstream of the

National Gypsum measurement station

will, along with upsizing the last 0.21

miles of pipeline to 8-inch diameter,

accomplish the reduction of delivery
