Texas Eastern Transmission Corp.; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 16, 1995.
    Take notice that on March 13, 1995, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, 
Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in Docket No. CP95-260-000 a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for 
authorization to construct and operate a new delivery point in Colbert 
County, Alabama, under Texas Eastern's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-535-000 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.
    Texas Eastern proposes to construct a new delivery point in Colbert 
County, Alabama, so that Texas Eastern may provide up to 10,000 
Dekatherms per day of interruptible transportation service to Decatur 
Utilities, City of Decatur, Alabama (Decatur). Texas Eastern states 
that the interruptible transportation service for Decatur will be 
provided pursuant to Rate Schedule IT-1 of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas 
Tariff, Volume No. 1. Texas Eastern states that the existing tariff 
does not prohibit the additional volumes.
    Texas Eastern states that Decatur has requested Texas Eastern to 
install a 4-inch hot tap, and 50 feet of 4-inch appurtenant piping (Hot 
Tap) to be located on Texas Eastern's 30-inch Line No. 10 at 
approximate Mile Post 158.45 in Colbert County, Alabama. Texas Eastern 
states that approximate cost of the facilities is $34,300 and will be 
100% reimbursable by Decatur.
    Texas Eastern also states that Decatur will cause to be installed a 
4-inch meter station, consisting of a single 4-inch meter run, 100 feet 
of 4-inch interconnecting piping which will extend between the Hot Tap 
and Decatur's proposed meter station, and electronic gas measurement 
equipment. Texas Eastern states it will own, operate and maintain the 
Hot Tap and electronic gas measurement equipment, and operate and 
maintain Decatur's proposed meter station.
    In addition, Texas Eastern states that Decatur will construct, own, 
operate, and maintain approximately 37 miles of new mainline trunk high 
pressure facilities (Trunk Facilities), extending from a point near 
Courtland, Alabama, to an interconnection with Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company near Barton, Alabama. Texas Eastern states that its proposed 
Hot Tap facilities will be connected to Decatur's Trunk Facilities by 
Decatur's 100 feet of 4-inch interconnecting piping.
    Texas Eastern states that the installation of the delivery point 
will have no effect on Texas Eastern's peak day or annual deliveries. 
Texas Eastern submits that its proposal will be accomplished without 
detriment or disadvantage to Texas Eastern's 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
