Transwestern Pipeline Company;

Notice of Application

October 16, 1997.

Take notice that on October 9, 1997,

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern), having its main offices

at 1400 Smith Street, Houston, TX

77002, filed in the above docket, an

abbreviated application pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

seeking permission to abandon by sale

to PG&E–TEX, L.P. (PG&E), its Gomez

Lateral located in Ward and Pecos

Counties, TX. The Gomez Lateral,

consisting of approximately 33 miles of

20-inch diameter pipeline and other

appurtenances, is to be sold to PG&E for

$2,500,000.

Transwestern asserts that these

facilities are no longer necessary for it

to transport gas for its merchant

function and that PG&E will assume all

future service obligations, and

operational and economic

responsibilities attached to these

facilities. Transwestern avers that; (1)

upon approval of the sale of these

facilities, and (2) PG&E receiving a

declaratory order from the Commission

finding that the subject facilities, once

conveyed, are intrastate pipeline

facilities, exempt from jurisdiction

under Section 2(16) of the Natural Gas

Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), PG&E will

integrate the subject facilities into its

intrastate pipeline system and be able to

provide a similar transportation service

to shippers requesting service on the

Gomez Lateral.

Transwestern also states that the sale

of the Gomez Lateral is contingent upon

approval of Northern Natural Gas

Company’s request for abandonment by

sale to PG&E, of certain facilities that are

in close proximity to and

interconnected with the Gomez Lateral,

as filed in Docket No. CP98–14–000.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 6, 1997, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 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 proceedings. 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 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 Transwestern to appear

or be represented at the hearing.
