requires heavier wall pipe due to the

proximity of new residential and

of FGT’s mainline. FGT proposes to

abandon in place, the three sections of

24-inch pipeline that will be taken out

of service. FGT estimates the total cost

of the proposal to be approximately

application should on or before

September 5, 1997, file with the Federal

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

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
