Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 28, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 26, 1997, Midwestern Gas Transmission 
Company (Midwestern), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-269-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205, 157.212) for authorization to construct a new delivery point 
for Natural Gas of Kentucky (NGK), a local distribution company, under 
Midwestern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-414-000 
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Midwestern proposes to establish a new delivery point on its system 
at approximate Mile Post 2105-1+.5 in Ohio County, Kentucky, for the 
delivery of up to 1,500 Dekatherms of natural gas per day to NGK for 
the ultimate distribution to a commercial entity not currently served 
by any other provider. Midwestern states that in order to accommodate 
the deliveries to NGK, Midwestern proposes to install, own, operate and 
maintain a two-inch hot tap, a tie-in assembly and electronic gas 
measurement equipment. Midwestern also states that NGK will install, 
own, and maintain approximately 40 feet of two-inch interconnecting 
pipe and measurement facilities. Midwestern states that NGK will 
reimburse Midwestern for the cost of this project which is 
approximately $22,400.
    Midwestern states that service at the proposed delivery point will 
be on an interruptible basis and that (i) volumes delivered to NGK 
after the construction of this delivery point will not exceed the total 
volumes authorized prior to this request, (ii) that the construction of 
the proposed delivery point is not prohibited by Midwestern's existing 
tariff, and, (iii) that Midwestern has sufficient capacity to 
accomplish deliveries at the proposed delivery point without detriment 
or disadvantage to its other 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 Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
