[Docket No. CP98-629-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 29, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 22, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), a Delaware corporation, Post Office Box 2511, Houston, 
Texas 77252, filed a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP98-
629-000, pursuant to Sections 157.205, and 157.212 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to 
install a delivery point, to provide interruptible gas transportation 
service to Chevron Gas Pipeline Company (Chevron) for emergency fuel 
use authorized in blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-413-
000, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee proposes to install a new delivery point on its system at 
approximately Mile Post 526A-601+17.65, Side Valve 526A-612 located at 
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, Louisiana State Water, Main Pass Block 
80 (MP 80) to provide interruptible gas transportation service of up to 
900 dekatherms per day to Chevron for emergency fuel use. At MP 80, 
Tennessee will inspect Chevron's installation of a two-inch tie-in 
assembly on an offshore platform owned by Ocean Energy Inc. The volumes 
to be delivered to MP 80 will be transported from MP 80 over 
interconnecting pipe owned by Forcenergy Inc. (Forcenergy), to a 
pipeline platform located at Main Pass Block 69 (MP 69) owned by 
Forcenergy. Chevron has separately arranged with Forcenergy for 
transportation services over this interconnecting pipe. Chevron would 
install its measurement facilities. Tennessee would install, own and 
operate electronic gas measurement (EGM) equipment and own, operate and 
maintain the tie-in assembly. Chevron would install, own and maintain 
the measurement facility. Tennessee reports that Chevron would 
reimburse Tennessee approximately $24,700 for the cost of the project.
    Tennesee reports that deliveries of natural gas to Chevron from the 
proposed point would be on an interruptible basis, pursuant to a 
transportation agreement between Tennessee and Chevron under 
Tennessee's Rate Schedule IT. The addition of this delivery point is 
not expected to have any significant impact upon Tennessee's peak day 
or annual deliveries.
    Tennessee states that the total quantities to be delivered to 
Chevron after the delivery point is installed would not exceed 
previously authorized quantities. Tennessee further states that the 
proposed modification is not prohibited by its tariff, and that it has 
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries at the delivery point 
without detriment or disadvantage to Tennessee's other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no 
protest is filed within the allowed time, 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
