Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 9, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 4, 1996, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Koch Gateway), 600 Travis Street, Houston, Texas, 77251, filed 
in Docket No. CP96-761-000, 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 and operate an 
eight-inch tap; a dual six-inch meter station, and approximately 1,700 
feet of eight-inch pipeline and appurtenances to serve Union Carbide 
Corporation (Union Carbide), an end-user, under Koch Gateway's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 
of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Koch Gateway proposes to install the new delivery point on its 
existing lateral line, designated as Index 300-22 in St. Charles 
Parish, Louisiana to satisfy Union Carbide's request for service, on 
behalf of Coral Energy Resources, L.P. (Coral), a natural gas marketer. 
Koch Gateway states that all work will be within Koch Gateway's 
existing right-of-way and Union Carbide's existing plant site. Koch 
Gateway further states that the initial transportation service, of an 
estimated 20,000 MMBtu of gas per day to be delivered to Union Carbide, 
will be pursuant to an Interruptible Transportation Service (ITS) 
agreement with Coral.
    Koch Gateway further states it will construct and operate the 
proposed facilities in compliance with 18 CFR, Part 157, Subpart F, and 
that the proposed activities will not affect Koch Gateway's ability to 
serve its other existing customers.
    Koch Gateway estimates the cost of construction to be $420,000. 
Koch Gateway states that although the proposed service is 
interruptible, construction of the tap and lateral is consistent with 
Section 16 of the General Terms and Conditions of Koch Gateway's tariff 
regarding installation of lateral lines. Koch Gateway explains that 
Coral has agreed to reimburse Koch Gateway a dollar amount to be 
calculated on a sliding scale if it fails to take a specified average 
quantity over the first two years of its ITS agreement.
    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 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
