Koch Gateway makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000 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. Koch Gateway proposes to install the new delivery point on its existing lateral line in Hinds County, to satisfy Tri-State's request for 1,200 MMBtu of natural gas per day, on an interruptible basis. It is stated that the volumes proposed for delivery to Tri-State will be delivered pursuant to Koch Gateway's blanket transportation certificate authorized in Docket No. CP88-6-000 and under Koch Gateway's ITS Rate Schedule. The estimated cost of constructing the proposed facilities is $60,000. Koch Gateway indicates that Tri-State will reimburse its construction cost. Koch Gateway avers that its tariff provides for comprehensive delivery points, as well as comprehensive receipt points, for all ITS shippers. Koch Gateway therefore, states that any qualified shipper on Koch Gateway's system can potentially deliver natural gas to Tri-State. It is further stated that such services will be within the entitlements of their respective transportation agreements and pursuant to Koch Gateway's blanket transportation certificate. 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 therefore, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filling a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
