[Docket No. CP98-644-000]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

July 9, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 30, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), PO Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-644-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act for authorization to abandon minor metering facilities in Lamar 
County, Alabama, all as more fully set forth in the application on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee proposes to abandon facilities associated with Meter No. 
1-2069, which were installed in 1990 under the authorization of Section 
311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act and subsequently converted to Section 
7(c) authorization. Specifically, Tennessee proposes to abandon by 
removal the check valve, riser and interconnecting pipe and to abandon 
the tap in place. Tennessee states that the facilities were installed 
for deliveries to Bishop Pipeline Company, which no longer receives gas 
at this point and has removed its meter. It is stated that the 
facilities are no longer used and that no customers would lose service 
as a result of the abandonment.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 30, 1998, 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 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 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 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
