December 23, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 17, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-120-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a 
delivery point to provide transportation service to the City of Tomball 
(Tomball), a municipality, under Tennessee's 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 that is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee proposes to construct and operate a delivery point on its 
4-inch Tomball lateral in Harris County, Texas, to provide 
transportation service up to 3,000 dekatherms per day to Tomball. 
Tennessee states that it will install a valve assembly at Side Valve 
(S.V.) 21B-121, electronic gas measurement and communications 
equipment. Additionally, Tennessee states that it will either modify or 
remove, as necessary, an existing check valve and appurtenant 
facilities located at or near Tennessee's existing S.V. 21B-101-3 which 
has been used to prevent back-flow. Tennessee also states that Tomball 
will reimburse Tennessee for Tennessee's share of the project costs 
which are approximately $27,000.
    Tennessee states that the total quantities to be delivered to 
Tomball after the construction of the delivery point is completed will 
not exceed the total quantities authorized prior to this request, and 
that its construction of the delivery point is not prohibited by its 
tariff. Tennessee also states that it has sufficient capacity to 
accomplish deliveries at the delivery point without detriment or 
disadvantage to Tennessee's other customers. Further, Tennessee's 
states that construction of this delivery point for Tomball is not 
expected to have any significant impact upon Tennessee's peak day of 
annual deliveries.
    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.
