obtain service pursuant to either an interruptible service agreement 
under Tennessee's Rate Schedule IT or through capacity release from 
existing shippers. Tennessee states that the estimated cost of the 
facility is $41,300 for which Chevron would reimburse to Tennessee.
    Specifically, Tennessee proposes to fabricate, install, own,

the interconnect piping and measurement facilities would be inspected
