Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 10, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed 
in Docket No. CP99-108-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon by removal certain 
delivery facilities located in Marion County, Mississippi, under Koch 
Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430, pursuant 
to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Koch Gateway proposes to abandon by removal a 2-inch tap, meter 
station and approximately 15 feet of 2-inch pipeline that served the 
Tylertown City Gate (Tylertown) on behalf of Walthall Natural Gas 
Company (Walthall), a local distribution company, in Marion County, 
Mississippi. Koch Gateway states that the proposed facilities were 
originally moved at the request of the Mississippi Department of 
Transportation (MDOT) to accommodate the expansion of the Mississippi 
State Highway 98. Koch Gateway states that it performed this activity 
as part of a miscellaneous rearrangement under Section 157.208(a)(1) of 
the Commission's regulations. Koch Gateway states that the MDOT also 
requested Walthall to move its distribution line; however, Walthall 
determined that the relocation of its distribution line was not a 
feasible option and requested Koch Gateway not to reinstall the related 
tap and meter station. Koch Gateway states that Walthall concurs with 
the proposed abandonment and has converted to Southern Natural Gas 
Company to provide its natural gas supplies in serving Tylertown.
    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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
