[Docket No. CP98–579–000]

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America; Notice of Application

June 8, 1998.

Take notice that on June 1, 1998,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America (Natural), 747 East 22nd Street,

Lombard, Illinois 60148, filed in Docket

No. CP98–579–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act for permission and approval to

abandon, by sale to Timberland

Gathering & Processing Company, Inc.

(Timberland), a Texas corporation,

certain certificated facilities located

near the town of Hooker, Texas County,

Oklahoma. Natural proposes to abandon

approximately 3.64 miles of Natural’s

26-inch Hooker Lateral, a meter station

consisting of four 10-inch meters, a 12-

inch check meter, and approximately

4,748 feet of 20-inch line, all as more

fully set forth in the application on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Natural states that the 3.64-mile

segment of pipe is located at the western

end of the Hooker Lateral. It is further

stated that all of the other facilities

proposed to be abandoned are, in turn,

near the western end of the 3.64-mile

segment. Natural indicates that

Timberland proposes to cut the 3.64-

mile segment away from the Hooker

Lateral and then to interconnect it with

another existing line owned by

Timberland. It is averred that the 3.64-

mile segment, in conjunction with the

other line, will then be used to move

unprocessed gas from the Hooker

Gathering System to Timberland’s

Tyrone Processing Plant which is about

13.25 miles north of the Hooker Lateral.

Natural states that based on the facts

presented in this proceeding, that it

requests that the Commission find that

all of the facilities will be nonjurisdictional, following their

abandonment and transfer to

Timberland.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 29,

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 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 Natural to appear or be

represented at the hearing.
