Type of Review: New.

Title: Family Involvement in

Elementary and Middle School.

Abstract: Research shows that family

involvement in education is key to

children learning to challenging

standards. However, certain important

questions could not be answered with

extant data. Accordingly, this data is

relevant to ED’s current initiative on

family involvement in education and to

the efforts of the 2500 grassroots

organizations that are members of the

Partnership for Family Involvement in

Education. They include schools,

education, parent, and community

groups and employers. Survey results

are intended for presentation first by the

Vice President at the 1997 annual

Family Reunion VI themed, ‘‘Family,

School, and Community’’.

Additional Information: Emergency

clearance is urgently requested for the

survey so that results can first be

announced at the Vice President’s

Family Reunion VI themed, ‘‘Family,

School, and Community.’’ This

conference is scheduled for late June

and media interest is anticipated.

Approval is requested by April 15, 1997.

If approval is not received by that date,

the latest information on family

involvement in education will not be

available for the Vice President’s

conference at which issues addressed in

the survey will be discussed.

Frequency: One Time.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

[Docket No. CP97–231–000]

CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice

of Application

February 7, 1997.

Take notice that on February 4, 1997,

CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG),

445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301, filed in Docket No.

CP97–231–000 an application pursuant

to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA), for permission and approval to

abandon, by sale to Ashland

Exploration, Inc. (Ashland), certain

certificated facilities, known as Line H–

169 located in Big Sandy Township,

Kanawha County, West Virginia. CNG

also request that the Commission

confirm the non-jurisdictional nature of

Ashland’s operation of the subject

facilities, all as more fully set forth in

the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

It is stated that the facilities proposed

to be abandoned herein, were

constructed in 1925 and certificated in

1943, in Docket No. G–290 as part of

Hope Natural Gas Company’s

grandfather certificate, of facilities

under the Natural Gas Act. CNG states

that since its restructuring of services

under Order No. 636, that it no longer

has need of the minor certificated

facilities that it is proposing to abandon

in this proceeding. CNG avers that Line

H–169 connects production owned by

Ashland to CNG’s 10-inch H–168 Line,

and that it has classified both Lines H–

169 and H–168 as gathering lines.

Specifically, CNG is proposing to

abandon approximately 3.5 miles of 10-

inch diameter pipeline, (and

miscellaneous lengths of line ranging

from 1-inch to 8-inches). CNG states that

it intends to sell the facilities to

Ashland for $6,000.

It is indicated that Ashland is the only

producer who has production located

on the line proposed to be abandoned,

and that no transportation contracts will

be terminated by virtue of the proposed

sale of facilities to Ashland.

CNG states that the Commission has

consistently recognized that gas moving

through pipelines in production areas

with the size, length and pressure of

Line H–169 are typical of gathering.

CNG states that it therefore, believes

that the Commission should confirm the

non-jurisdictional nature of Ashland’s

operations of the line segments, once

Ashland has acquired the faculties.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

February 28, 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 (19 157.10). All protests filed

with the Commission will be considered

by it in determining the appropriate

action to 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 CNG to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
