Any questions regarding this

application should be directed to James

J. McElligott, Senior Vice President,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America, 747 East 22nd Street,

Lombard, Illinois 60148 at (630) 691–

Specifically Natural requests:

(1) permission and approval to abandon, by

sale to East Breaks Gathering Company,

L.L.C. (‘‘East Breaks’’), a nonjurisdictional

gathering company, interests in an aggregate

of 39.98 miles of various diameter offshore

laterals including related tap, meter and

‘‘non-mainline’’ compression facilities and

appurtenances in the West Cameron (‘‘WC’’)

and Vermilion (‘‘VR’’) Areas, offshore

Louisiana. Specifically, Natural seeks to

abandon its interests in lateral facilities

connecting gas supply in VR 221A, VR 340A,

VR 348A, WC 170A, WC 172CB, WC 212C,

WC 533 (meter and ‘‘non-mainline’’

compressor only), WC 534A (meter only), WC

537A, WC 551A/New, WC 564A and WC 630

(meter only). Natural will also sell to East

Breaks facilities interests in an aggregate of

15.62 miles of previously abandoned and

retired in place lateral facilities, which

specifically had connected gas supply in East

Cameron (‘‘EC’’) 281B, offshore Louisiana, EC

347A, WC 264A #1, WC 540A and WC 551A/

Old; 1/ and

(2) a determination in the Commission’s

order in the present docket that following

abandonment, and upon transfer to East

Breaks, the subject facilities interests to be

abandoned here and those in the previously

abandoned and retired in place laterals to be

sold will become part of East Breaks’ system

and will be nonjurisdictional and not subject

to NGA regulation by the Commission.

Natural states that its interests in the

subject facilities were originally

constructed as a means of receiving gas

purchased from various suppliers for

Natural’s system supply to support

Natural’s merchant function. Natural’s

merchant function terminated effective

December 1, 1993. Consequently,

Natural states that it no longer has a

need for the facilities interests to be

abandoned in the present application.

Natural states that it proposes to

abandon and transfer these facilities

interests, as well as Natural’s interests

in five (5) previously abandoned and

retired in place laterals, to East Breaks

for $5,137,618.

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 3,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR

for leave is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its own motion believes

notice of such hearing will be duly
