DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-643-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
July 9, 1998.
Take notice that on June 30, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee), Post Office Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed in
Docket No. CP98-643-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under Natural Gas Act (18 CFR
157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to install a delivery point to
provide transportation service to Edinburg Energy Limited Partnership
(Edinburg), an independent electric power producer. Tennessee makes
such request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
413-000 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.
Tennessee proposes to install a delivery point at approximately
Mile Post 409A-101+5 on Tennessee's 24-inch South Texas Donna Line in
Hidalgo County, Texas to provide transportation service on a released
capacity basis of up to a proposed maximum of 200,000 dekatherms per
day to Edinburg. Tennessee states it will install a 12-inch hot tap,
electronic gas measurement (EMG), communications equipment,
chromatograph, and approximately 40-feet of interconnecting pipe to the
edge of Tennessee's right-of-way. It is further states that Tennessee
will inspect Edinburg's installation of interconnecting pipe from the
edge of Tennessee's right-of-way to the meter station, flow control
equipment, separator with containment, and measurement facilities.
Tennessee indicates that the installation will take place within
the meter station site provided by Edinburg, and that Edinburg will
own, operate and maintain the interconnecting pipe from the edge of
Tennessee's right-of-way to the meter station, separator with
containment, and will own and maintain the flow control equipment and
measurement facilities. It is states that Edinburg will provide any
necessary site preparations, additional utility services, and an all-
weather access road.
Tennessee states that it will own, operate and maintain the 12-inch
hot tap, EMG, communications equipment, chromatograph and
interconnecting pipe to the edge of Tennessee's right-of-way, and will
operate the flow control equipment and measurement facilities.
It is averred that the total quantities to be delivered to Edinburg
after the delivery point is installed will not exceed the total
quantities authorized prior to this request. Tennessee asserts that the
proposed modification is not probated 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.
Tennessee estimates the project cost to be approximately $220,900
stating that Edinburg has agreed to reimburse Tennessee's cost.
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
[[Page 38163]]
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.

Acting Secretary.
