Commission

[Docket No. CP98–685–000]

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation;

Notice of Application

July 30, 1998.

Take notice that on July 23, 1998,

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation

(Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008,

Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, filed an

application with the Commission in

Docket No. CP98–685–000 pursuant to

Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)

for permission and approval to abandon

by sale an offshore Louisiana gas supply

lateral to Union Oil Company of

California (Unocal), all as more fully set

forth in the request which is open to the

public for inspection.

Texas Gas proposes to abandon by

sale for $28,000 to Unocal

approximately 0.73 miles of 6-inch

diameter pipe and appurtenant facilities

in Eugene Island Blocks 276C and 259,

offshore Louisiana. Texas Gas, as a

former natural gas merchant, states that

it originally constructed the pipe to

attach natural gas supplies in the

Eugene Island area to the Bluewater

System for ultimate delivery to Texas

Gas. Texas Gas also states that it no

longer has a firm transportation

commitment involving the subject pipe

and does not need the pipe anymore.

Texas Gas states that its proposed

transfer of the pipe to Unocal would

have no adverse effect upon Texas Gas’

existing customers. Texas Gas uses the

subject pipe to provide interruptible

transportation service to Unocal,

currently the only customer served via

the pipe.

Texas Gas also petitions for a

declaratory order by which the

Commission disclaims its jurisdiction

over the pipeline facilities Texas Gas

proposes to abandon by sale of Unocal.

Texas Gas indicates that after it transfers

the facilities to Unocal that Unocal

would provide nonjurisdictional service

to any other shippers on a nondiscriminatory basis.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before August

20, 1998, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 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 Texas Gas to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Acting Secretary.
