[Docket No. CP98–5–000]

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

October 10, 1997.

Take notice that on October 2, 1997,

Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

(TETCO), 5400 Westheimer Court,

Houston, Texas 77056–5310 filed in

Docket No. CP98–5–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(b) and 7(c) of the

Natural Gas Act for permission and

approval for TETCO to construct and

operate certain replacement facilities in

Harrison County, Texas and to abandon

by removal certain facilities being

replaced all as more fully set forth in the

application on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

TETCO states that it has been

informed by Texas Eastman, Division of

Eastman Chemical Company (Eastman),

an industrial chemical plant and rightof-way grantor, of Eastman’s proposed

rail yard expansion in Harrison County,

Texas, which is being undertaken to

alleviate capacity restrictions in

Eastman’s operations. TETCO asserts

that Eastman has requested that TETCO

expedite the relocation and lowering of

TETCO’s 20-inch Line No. 13, which

crosses Eastman’s property. TETCO

indicates that the replacement will be

offset 35 feet to the northeast of the

existing pipeline and approximately

3.51 acres of land and one landowner,

in addition to Eastman, are to be

affected by the proposed relocation.

Specifically, TETCO proposes to

replace, construct, own and operate

approximately 598 feet of 20-inch

mainline in Harrison County, Texas and

to abandon by removal the existing 20-

inch pipeline segments to be replaced.

TETCO estimates the total capital cost of

the replacement to be $701,000 and

states that it will be reimbursed 100%

for the project by Eastman.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before October

31, 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.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents filed by the applicant and

by every one of the intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must submit

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as 14 copies with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of comments to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Commenters will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

list, will receive copies of

environmental documents and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal

Energy Regulation 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

authorization 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 TETCO to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
