Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP00-1-000]

 
Carnegie Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 7, 1999.
    Take notice that on October 1, 1999, Carnegie Interstate Pipeline 
Company (CIPCO), 800 Regis Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236, 
filed in Docket No. CP00-1-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.208 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.208 and 157.211) for authorization to 
construct and operate certain facilities to provide new service to an 
end-user of natural gas, and to increase the Maximum Allowable 
Operating Pressure (MAOP) of one segment of a delivery lateral, under 
CIPCO's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP88-248-000 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    CIPCO states that it would construct a new delivery point on its 
existing M-73 eight-inch diameter pipeline to serve Allegheny Power's 
Hatfield Ferry Power Station in Masontown, Pennsylvania. CIPCO states 
that the delivery point would connect to a natural gas service line 
owned, operated and maintained by Allegheny Power. CIPCO also states 
that to provide the new service, it would convert its existing delivery 
point to Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. (CPA) on Line M-73 to a new 
receipt point. CIPCO states it will replace the existing 4-inch tap 
connecting its system to CPA with a 10-inch tap and replace 
approximately 140 feet of existing 4-inch line which is part of the 
meter facilities with 10-inch line in the same trench. CIPCO states 
that all of the above construction and operation would be automatically 
authorized under the automatic provisions of the Commission's blanket 
certificate regulations.
    In addition, CIPCO proposes to increase the MAOP of the short 
segment (approximately 2053 feet) of Line M-73 from the interconnection 
with CPA to the Hatfield delivery point from 99 psia to 175 psia. CIPCO 
states that the reason for the proposed change is to enable CIPCO to 
provide the new service to the Hatfield Power Station.
    Any questions regarding this filing should be directed to Michael 
E. Kingerski, Director of Transportation Marketing of CIPCO at (412) 
655-8517, at 800 Regis Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236.
    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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
