    Natural states that there will be no significant loss of 
environmental quality because of the proposed project. Natural states 
that on March 17, 1995, it requested the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
Endangered Species Clearance and the State Historical Society of Iowa 
Cultural Resources Clearance. On March 22, 1995, it requested the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers Clearance. Natural states that the above 
clearance letters will be submitted upon receipt.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before May 26, 1995, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 385.211 and 
385.214) 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 in any proceeding herein 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 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 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 to be represented at 
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
