Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 20, 1999.
    Take notice that on October 13, 1999, Midwestern Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Midwestern), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, 
filed in Docket No. CP00-5-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.211) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to construct 
and operate delivery point facilities for service to Scepter, Inc. 
(Scepter), an industrial end-user, in Knox County, Indiana, under 
Midwestern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-414-000, 
pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Midwestern requests authorization to construct and operate 
facilities consisting of a two-inch hot tap, check valve, and 
electronic gas measurement facilities on its system in Knox County to 
serve Scepter's industrial plant. It is stated that Midwestern will use 
the facilities to transport up to 862 dekatherms per day on an 
interruptible basis pursuant to the terms of Midwestern's IT rate 
schedule for delivery to Scepter. Midwestern estimates the cost of the 
facilities at $32,300, for which it will be reimbursed by Scepter. It 
is explained that Scepter will install, own, operate and maintain 
approximately 200 feet of 2-inch interconnecting pipe and that Scepter 
will also install, own and maintain measurement facilities. It is 
asserted that deliveries to Scepter will be within its certified 
entitlement at this location. It is further asserted that Midwestern 
has sufficient capacity to render the proposed service without 
disadvantage to its other existing customers and that Midwestern's 
tariff does not prohibit the addition of delivery point facilities. 
Midwestern states that the proposal will not have a significant impact 
on its peak day or annual deliveries because the proposed service is 
interruptible.
    Any questions regarding the application may be directed to Thomas 
G. Joyce, Certificates Manager, at (713) 420-2459.
    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 NGA (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 NGA.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
