Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Waiver Request

March 3, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 26, 1999, Destin Pipeline company, 
L.L.C. (Destin), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-238-002 a request pursuant to Section 157.208(g) of 
the Commission's Regulations for waiver of the prior notice blanket 
certificate cost limitations associated with its CNG Lateral Project 
authorized in Docket No. CP98-238-000, 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).
    Specifically, Destin requests, pursuant to Section 157.208(g) of 
the Commission's Regulations, that the Director of the Office of 
Pipeline and Producer Regulation (Director) waive the project cost 
limitations of Sections 157.208(b) and (d) associated with the 
construction of its CNG Lateral Project authorized in Docket No. CP98-
238-000, 83 FERC para. 61,308, (1998). Destin states that the costs for 
the CNG Lateral Project exceeded the 1998 cost limit of $19.6 million 
for blanket certificate prior notice projects, and that such waiver 
request is mandated under the Commission's regulations. Destin states 
that the costs related to the CNG Lateral Project were originally 
projected to total $19.0 million, but that, due to a series of 
unforeseen and unanticipated events, the actual total cost related to 
the CNG Lateral Project if $35.1 million. Destin also states that if 
the Director believes that a waiver would not be appropriate, it 
requests that the Commission convert its blanket certificate 
authorization for the CNG Lateral Project to a case specific Section 
7(c) certificate.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 24, 1998, file

accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
taken but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. 
Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate 
as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's rules.
