[Docket No. CP97-131-000]


Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Application

March 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 27, 1996, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-131-000, an abbreviated application pursuant to Section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations for authorization to 
abandon by sale certain pipeline facilities, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Panhandle proposes to abandon by sale to Cherokee Pipe and Service 
Company, Inc. (Cherokee) approximately 17.1 miles of 22 inch pipeline 
and appurtenant facilities located in Beaver County, Oklahoma and 
Seward County, Kansas. Panhandle states that the subject facilities 
which were decommissioned in accordance with a Commission order issued 
on September 19, 1990 in Docket No. CP90-681-000, will be sold in 
place. Panhandle further states that the sale price for the subject 
facilities is $166,000.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 2, 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 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 file within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the 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 procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Panhandle to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
