Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP98–71–000]

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of

Application

November 13, 1997.

Take notice that on November 5,

1997, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR),

500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, MI

48243, filed in Docket No. CP98–71–000

an application pursuant to Section 7(b)

of the Natural Gas Act for permission

and approval to abandon by transfer

11.74 miles of 10-inch pipeline located

in Wheeler County, TX and Beckham

County, OK, all as more fully set forth

in the application which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

ANR proposes to transfer to its

affiliate, ANR Field Services Company

at net book value, its Mayfield Lateral

located in Beckham County, OK and

Wheeler County, TX.

The facilities, it is said, consists of

11.74 miles of 10-inch pipeline and

extent from the Mayfield Gathering

System to an intersection with ANR’s

16-inch trunkline 496–1602.

ANR requests that the Commission

declare that the facilities are gathering

facilities exempt from the Commission’s

jurisdiction under Section 1(b) of the

Natural Gas Act.

Any person desiring to be heard or

any person desiring to make any protest

with reference to said application

should on or before December 4, 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 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 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 ANR to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
