[Docket No. CP97-656-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

August 1, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 21, 1997, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-656-000 an application pursuant to Section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act authorization to construct and operate a 
4,600 horsepower compressor engine and associated facilities at the 
Haughton, Louisiana Compressor Station in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Texas Gas proposes to install and operate the compressor in order 
to expand the capacity of its North Louisiana supply lateral to 
accommodate firm transportation service for Union Pacific Fuels, Inc.
    It is said that the estimated cost of construction is $5,980,000. 
It is further said that Texas Gas seeks to roll the costs and revenues 
of the project into its systemwide rates.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protest with reference to said application should on or before August 
22, 1997, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a 
protest in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 18 CFR 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 the 
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.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
