[Docket No. CP98–175–000]

Southern Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

January 16, 1998.

Take notice that on January 8, 1998,

Southern Natural Gas Company

(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham,

Alabama 35202–2563, filed in Docket

No. CP98–175–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and

157.216) for authorization to abandon

certain farm tap measurement facilities

in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama,

under Southern’s blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–406–000

pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas

Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request that is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Southern states that it constructed

farm tap facilities to sell and deliver

natural gas at the King’s Gin Farm Tap

on its Vicksburg Lines in Warren

County, Mississippi under a May 27,

1952 agreement with King’s Gin

Company, Incorporated. Southern

constructed farm tap facilities at the

Miller Farm Tap on its Vicksburg Lines

in Warren County, Mississippi under a

June 14, 1963 agreement with the City

of Vicksburg. Southern constructed farm

tap facilities at the Priddy Farm Tap to

serve Joe Priddy and Sons on its North

Main Lines in Sharkey County,

Mississippi under a May 14, 1962

agreement and assigned to Travelers

Insurance Companies on August 29,

1985. Southern constructed farm tap

facilities at the Black Belt-Dairymen

Farm Tap on its South Main Line in

Hale County, Alabama under a

December 1, 1952 agreement with Black

Belt Dairies, Incorporated. Southern

constructed farm tap facilities at the

Leon Farm Tap to serve Ruth Robinson

Leon at its Toca Compressor Station in

St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana under a

sales agreement dated June 20, 1952.

Southern constructed farm tap facilities

at the Gaddis Farm Tap on its South

Meridian Line in Lauderdale County,

Mississippi under a February 23, 1968

agreement with Mississippi Valley Gas

Company. Southern constructed farm

tap facilities at the Witman Farm Tap to

serve M.J. Witman on its South Main

Lines in Bibb County, Alabama under a

February 6, 1951 agreement and

assigned to Asa M. Marshall on

November 22, 1982. Southern

constructed farm tap facilities at the

J.D. Behrens Farm Tap on its

Montgomery-Columbus Line in Elmore

County, Alabama under a March 24,

1951 agreement with John Skinner and

assigned to John D. Behrens, Jr. on

November 6, 1977.

Southern has not provided natural gas

service at any of these locations for over

five years. Accordingly, Southern

requests authorization to abandon the

King’s Gin, Miller, Priddy, Black BeltDairymen, Leon, Gaddis, Witman, and

J.D. Behrens Farm Taps. Abandonment

of these farm tap facilities will decrease

maintenance costs for Southern.

Southern states that the abandonment

of facilities will not result in any

termination of currently provided

service. Southern states that its existing

tariff does not prohibit this activity and

that there is sufficient capacity to

accommodate the proposed changes

without detriment or disadvantage to its

other customers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

David P. Boergers,

Acting Secretary.
