[Docket No. CP97-778-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

October 1, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 26, 1997, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. 
CP97-719-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a natural gas 
transportation service for Fina Oil and Chemical Company, all as more 
fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    ANR states that the transportation service was originally 
authorized in Docket No. CP84-651-000, et al. ANR further states that 
the service is designated as Rate Schedule X-150 in ANR's FERC Gas 
Tariff, Original Volume No. 2. ANR asserts that the agreement was 
entered into by ANR, Fina, Louisiana Resources Company (LRC), and 
Faustina Pipeline Company (Faustina). ANR further asserts that under 
the agreement, ANR received natural gas tendered by Fina at High Island 
Area, Block 546, South Addition, offshore Texas. ANR indicates that it 
then delivered the gas to LRC at Cameron Parish, Louisiana. It is 
further indicated that LRC then delivered the gas to Faustina at 
Vermillion Parish, Louisiana, for ultimate redelivery to a 
petrochemical plant in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. ANR asserts that by 
mutual agreement ANR and Fina have agreed to terminate the service. ANR 
states that no facilities are proposed to be abandoned.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before October 22, 1997, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 
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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
required by the public convenieance 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 provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for ANR to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
