Docket No. CP98-334-000Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

April 10, 1998.

Take notice that on April 6, 1998, Midwestern Gas Transmission Company (Midwestern), Post Office Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in Docket No. CP98-334-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216) for authorization to upgrade a delivery point for continued service to Western Kentucky Gas Company (Western Kentucky), a local distribution company. Midwestern makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-414-000 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.

Midwestern request authorization to modify an existing delivery point on its system in Daviess County, Kentucky in order to deliver additional volumes at that delivery point to Western Kentucky. Midwestern proposes to uprate its existing Meter Station No. 2-7068 located at Milepost 2106-1+3.88, in order to enable Midwestern to deliver on an interruptible and firm basis up to 30 MMcf a day of natural gas at that meter station.

Specifically, Midwestern is proposing to modify the existing meter station by removing the existing 2-inch orifice meter and associated piping, 2-inch flow control valve and associated bypass and isolation valves, 3-inch check valve and approximately 45 feet of 3-inch diameter interconnecting pipe. Midwestern states that it will install an 8-inch orifice meter, 4-inch flow control valve and associated bypass and isolation valves, 8-inch check value and approximately 45 feet of 8- inch diameter interconnecting pipe. Additionally, Midwestern states that it also proposes to reconfigure the

[Page 18898]electronic gas measurement to accommodate the above described changes.

The current capacity at that meter station is 1.5 MMcf per day, and Midwestern states that the proposed modifications are designed to increase the capacity to 30 MMcf per day, without having a significant impact on Midwestern's peak day or annual deliveries.

The overall cost of the project, including both the removal and the installation of facilities will be approximately $197,900. It is stated that Western Kentucky will fully reimburse Midwestern for this project.

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 filedwithin 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. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
