[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 32 (Thursday, February 18, 1999)] [Notices] [Pages 8078-8079] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-3897] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP99-193-000] Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization February 11, 1999. Take notice that on February 3, 1999, Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in Docket No. CP99-193-000 [[Page 8079]] a request pursuant to Sections 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, own, maintain and operate a new point of delivery on its existing 30-inch Line Nos. 15 and 25 in Wilson County, Tennessee, to make deliveries to Middle Tennessee Natural Utility District (Middle Tennessee), a municipal distribution company and existing Texas Eastern customer, under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-535-000, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The application may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance. Texas Eastern proposes to construct, install, own, operate and maintain dual 8-inch tap valves, dual 8-inch check valves and related piping (tap). Additionally, Texas Eastern will install, own, operate and maintain dual 6-inch turbine meters with associated piping and valves (meter station), approximately 100 feet of 8-inch pipeline (connecting pipe), and electronic gas measurement equipment (EGM). Texas Eastern states that the maximum daily delivery capacity of the proposed delivery point will be approximately 50 MMCF/D. Texas Eastern estimates the cost for the proposed project to be approximately $1,485,000 in 1999 dollars. Texas Eastern states that pursuant to Section 11.2 of its General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, it is waiving the facility cost reimbursement requirement set forth in Section 11.1 of the General Terms and Conditions. Texas Eastern claims that it is entering into a new long-term firm service agreement with Middle Tennessee pursuant to its Rate Schedule FT-1. This service agreement will have a primary term of twelve years, will be subject to the maximum rates applicable to Rate Schedule FT-1, and will result in annual reservation charge revenue of approximately $549,000. Therefore, according to Texas Eastern, the new Rate Schedule FT-1 service agreement with Middle Tennessee will make construction of the facilities economical to Texas Eastern. Texas Eastern states that it will provide service to the proposed delivery point by using existing capacity on its system and it will have no effect on its peak day or annual deliveries. Texas Eastern has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to its 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 not protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed 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. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 99-3897 Filed 2-17-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
