ANR further states that under the terms

of the agreement, ANR is authorized to

exchange up to 10,000 Mcf of natural

are required by the public convenience

and necessity. If a motion for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice

of Amendment

January 22, 1998.

Take notice that on January 15, 1998,

CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG),

445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301, filed in Docket No.

CP96–558–001 an amendment pursuant

to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, as

amended, and the Commission’s Rules

and Regulations thereunder, to amend

its certificate issued at Docket No.

CP96–558–000 on October 11, 1996, all

as more fully set forth in the application

on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

According to CNG, the above order

approved the abandonment in place of

67.07 miles of 14-inch pipeline, known

as Line 14, located in Potter County,

Pennsylvania and Livingston, Allegany

and Wyoming Counties, New York. By

this amendment, CNG requests to

abandon an additional 5.5 miles of Line

14 in Allegany County, New York, due

to age and condition.

CNG states that the abandonment of

Line 14 will have no impact on CNG’s

existing services. This is so, according

to CNG, because (1) the markets served

by Line 14 have declined, and (2) CNG’s

existing, parallel pipelines, Lines 24 and

554 have sufficient capacity to maintain

existing services to the markets served

by this part of CNG’s system.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application, should on or before

February 12, 1998, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NW., Washington, DC

20426, a petition to intervene or a

protest in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (Rule 210,

211, or 214) and 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 proceedings. Any person wishing

to become a party to the proceeding or

to participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a petition 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, as amended, and the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure, a

hearing will be held without further

notice before the Commission, or its

delegate, on this application if no

petition to intervene is filed within the

time required herein, if the Commission

on its own review of the matter finds

that the certificate is required by the

public convenience and necessity.

If a petition for leave to intervene is

timely filed, or if the Commission on its

own motion believes that an oral

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 CNG to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

January 22, 1998.

Take notice that on January 15, 1998,

CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG),

445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301, filed in Docket No.

CP98–188–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.216) for authorization to abandon in

place 0.42 mile of 12-inch pipeline,

located in Marshall County, West

Virginia, crossing the Ohio River and

ending in York Township, Ohio, under

CNG’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–537–000, pursuant to

Section 7(c) 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.

CNG proposes to abandon in place

0.42 mile of bare 12-inch pipeline,

known as H–197, starting in Marshall

County, West Virginia, crossing the

Ohio River, and ending in York

Township, Ohio, where it originally tied

into East Ohio Gas Company’s TPL–9.

CNG states that gas has not flowed

through this segment of H–197 since the

1980’s, therefore the abandonment of

this segment of H–197 will have no

effect on any existing 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.

Acting Secretary.
