system. Questar states that the

Drunkard’s Wash No. 1 station is no

longer utilized as a receipt point,

declaring that instead the natural gas

produced by River Gas is now delivered

at an alternate, larger capacity receipt

point, known as the Drunkard’s Wash

No. 2 station, which is located

approximately one mile south of the

facility proposed to be abandoned.

Questar is not proposing to abandon

any service.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before January

21, 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 (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 Questar to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Acting Secretary.

Geokinetics has been out of business for

more than 10 years. Questar Pipeline

customer served at this location.
