with Southern’s interstate pipeline in

Polk County, Georgia and a meter

station connecting the proposed LNG

facility with a non-jurisdictional

pipeline to be constructed by Atlanta

Gas Light Company (AGLC). Etowah

estimates that the proposed facilities

will cost approximately $91.1 million.

Etowah says that the proposed facility

will be capable of liquefying 15 Mmcf

per day, vaporizing 300 Mmcf per day,

and delivering 20,000 gallons per hour

through the truck loading facility.

Etowah proposed to offer a 8.33 day

peaking service under a single rate

schedule as described in its pro-forma

tariff. Storage customers would be

allowed to deliver gas for liquefaction

through the proposed interconnect with

Southern and receive vaporized gas

through either the Southern of AGLC

interconnects.

Any person desiring to be heard or

making any protest with reference to

said application should on or before

May 20, 1998, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., 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 NGA (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.

The Commission’s rules require that

protestors provide copies of their

protests to the party or person to whom

the protests are directed. Any person

wishing to become a 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.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents issued by the

Commission, filed by the applicant, or

filed by all other intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must serve

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as filing an original and 14 copies

with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of such comments to

the Secretary of the Commission.

Commenters will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

list, will receive copies of

environmental documents, and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission, and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a Federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the

NGA 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 advise, ti will be

unnecessary for Etowah to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Acting Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP98–371–000]

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

April 19, 1998.

Take notice that on April 23, 1998,

Florida Gas Transmission Company

(FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston,

Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP98–

371–000 a request pursuant to Sections

157.205 and 157.212 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

National Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and

157.212) for authorization to construct,

own and operate a new point of delivery

in Gilchrist County, Florida to

accommodate a request for additional

deliveries of natural gas to the State of

Florida’s Lancaster Correctional

Facility. FGT makes such request under

its blanket certificate issued in Docket

No. CP–82–553–000 pursuant to Section

7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more

fully set forth in the request on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

Specifically, FGT proposes to

construct, own and operate a new tap,

electronic flow measurement equipment

and approximately 100 feet of 2-inch

connecting pipeline, to deliver natural

gas to a new meter station to be

constructed, owned, and operated by

TECO Peoples Gas Inc. (TECO). It is

stated that the proposed new delivery

point, PGS-Trenton, will be added to the

existing FTS–1 Service Agreement

between FGT and the State of Florida.

The PGS-Trenton point is slated to

receive up to 300 MMBtu per day at line

pressure. It is averred that the new

delivery point will not increase the

contractual gas quantities nor increase

the current certificated level of service

under the existing FTS–1 Service

Agreement.

FGT estimates it will cost

approximately $70,000 to construct the

requested facilities, and states that the

cost will be reimbursed by the State of

Florida. It is stated that the end-use of

the gas will be for industrial purposes.

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 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.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.
