[Docket No. CP98-551-000]


Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application for 
Abandonment

May 19, 1998.
    Take notice that on May 14, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-551-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Section 157.18 of the Commission's 
Regulations requesting permission and approval to abandon obsolete 
transportation service formerly provided to ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Koch Gateway (formerly known as United Gas Pipe Line 
Company) requests authorization to abandon the obsolete transportation 
agreement under Rate Schedule X-106, dated December 20, 1977 which was 
certificated in Docket No. CP78-205. Koch Gateway states that this 
individually certificated service is no longer required by ANR and has 
been terminated. Koch Gateway also states that ANR concurs with the 
proposed abandonment and that no facilities are proposed to be 
abandoned.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 9, 1998, 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 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA 
(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 NGA 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 a 
grant of the certificate is 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 Koch Gateway to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
