ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

February 2, 2000.
    Take notice that on January 27, 2000, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. 
CP00-72-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas 
Act for permission and approval to abandon natural gas transportation 
service provided to Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas) 
under an individually certificated agreement, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    ANR proposes to abandon a firm natural gas transportation service 
provided to Texas Gas under ANR's Rate Schedule X-153 contained in its 
respective FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2. ANR states that the 
service agreement provided for an initial term of fifteen years from 
the date of first deliveries and from year to year thereafter, unless 
canceled by either party. ANR asserts that transportation of the gas 
commenced on February 7, 1985. ANR states that Texas Gas has requested 
that the parties terminate the transportation service effective 
February 27, 2000 and requests that authority to abandon the 
transportation service provided under Rate Schedule X-153 be made 
effective as of that date. ANR declares that it does not propose to 
abandon any facilities pursuant to the instant application.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said Application should on or before February 23, 2000, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., 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 385.211 or 18 CFR 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 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 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 petition 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 abandonment 
is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a petition 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 Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
