Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 24, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 13, 1996, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Koch Gateway), Post Office Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-
1478, filed in Docket No. CP97-152-000 a request pursuant to 
Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to 
construct a 2-inch tap and a 2-inch meter station in Hinds County, 
Mississippi, to serve Tri-State Tile & Brick (Tri-State). 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filling a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
