Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on March 15, 1999, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP99-255-000 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 an 
existing meter station in order to accommodate deliveries of natural 
gas to TECO Peoples Gas System, Inc. (TECO), in Duval County, Florida. 
FGT makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as 
more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission. The 
filing may be viewed on the web at https://www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    It is stated that TECO has requested FGT to upgrade an existing 
meter station, to allow for delivery of 6,100 Mcf per hour at a 
pressure of 480 psig under existing transportation service agreements 
by and between FGT and TECO. FGT avers that the existing capacity is 
7,100 Mcf per hour delivered at a pressure of 250 psig. It is indicated 
that TECO will be upgrading the MAOP of their 18-inch pipeline over to 
the area of JEA's Northside Power Plant in order to serve new turbines 
that require 400 psig inlet pressure.
    Specifically, FGT proposes to upgrade the meters, and modify the 
headers and valves in the Jacksonville Border Station to serve TECO. 
FGT further states that the upgrade to this existing meter station will 
not impact FGT's peak day or annual deliveries.
    FGT states that the proposed upgrade to the Jacksonville Border 
Station, will be at the end of FGT's 16-inch Jacksonville Lateral near 
mile post 45.5. The estimated cost for upgrading the facilities is 
$273,507.--which FGT states will be reimbursed by TECO. It states that 
the end-use will be residential, industrial, electric generation and 
commercial.
    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 175.205 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
