September 30, 1997.

Take notice that on September 26,

1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company

(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478,

Houston, Texas 77251–1478, filed in

Docket No. CP97–776–000 a request

pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.216 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for

authorization to abandon eleven

delivery taps in Hancock, Harrison and

Jackson Counties, Mississippi, under

issued in Docket No. CP82–430,

pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas

request that is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Koch Gateway requests authorization

to abandon eleven (11) farm taps on its

Index 276 transmission pipeline in

Hancock, Harrison and Jackson Counties

Mississippi. Koch Gateway states that it

is taking steps to implement the order

issued on June 21, 1994 in FERC Docket

No. CP94–76–000 to abandon by sale to

Koch Pipeline, Inc., a subsidiary of

Koch Industries, Inc., its Index 276

transmission pipeline. In its application

for abandonment Koch Gateway

indicated that is would make prior

notice filings to abandon existing

delivery taps on the Index 276 and that

this instant filing is one of those filings.

Koch Gateway proposes to plug each

tap and remove all valves and aboveground appurtenances at the various

locations. Koch Gateway states that

these farm taps were originally

certificated in FPC Docket No. G–232,

and that the taps are inactive and no

services will be affected by the proposed

abandonment. Koch Gateway states that

Entex, Inc. (Entex), the local distribution

company through which these farm tap

services were previously provided, has

removed its metering facilities at each

farm tap location, and that Entex has

agreed to the proposed abandonment.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.
