Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application for 
Abandonment

November 19, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 12, 1997, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 
(77056-5310, filed an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for an 
order granting permission and approval to abandon certain facilities in 
place and by removal, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Texas Eastern requests authorization to abandon the 
Point Au Chien compressor station; lateral lines 40-E-11, 40-E-12, 40-
E-13, and 40-F; and certain meter stations and appurtenant facilities. 
All of the facilities for which Texas Eastern seeks abandonment 
authority for are located in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes, 
Louisiana. Texas Eastern states that neither it nor its customers are 
utilizing the subject facilities. In addition, Texas Eastern states 
that it does not propose to attach any new sources of natural gas to 
the subject facilities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before December 10, 1997, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 1st Street, NE,

motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214) 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 in any proceeding herein 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 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 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 Texas Eastern to appear or to be represented 
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
