Southern Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Application

November 17, 1997.

Take notice that on October 31, 1997,

as supplemented on November 7, 1997,

Southern Natural Gas Company

(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham,

Alabama 35202–2563, filed in Docket

No. CP98–61–000, an application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act for permission and approval to

abandon an existing receiving station in

order to modify its operations at the

receiving station all as more fully set

forth in the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Southern seeks approval to abandon

the FGT-Franklinton to Southern

Receipt Meter located at Southern’s

interconnection with Florida Gas

Transmission Company (FGT), in

Washington Parish, Louisiana. Southern

states that upon receiving abandonment

authorization, Southern will reverse the

ten-inch meter run to enable it to deliver

natural gas to FGT at that location.

Southern asserts that the installation of

the proposed facilities will have no

impact on its peak day or firm

requirements. Southern plans to

perform the modification of the delivery

point under its blanket certificate of

public convenience and necessity

issued in Docket No. CP82–406–000 as

an eligible facility pursuant to

§ 157.208(a) of the Commission’s

Regulations.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make protest with reference to said

application should on or before

December 8, 1997, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., 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 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 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 provided for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Southern to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
