[Docket No. CP96-369-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application

May 6, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 30, 1996, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (Florida Gas), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed 
in Docket No. CP96-369-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of 
the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations. 
Florida Gas seeks an order authorizing the abandonment of its 
transportation service with Washington Gas Company (Washington Gas), 
known as Rate Schedule X-7. Florida Gas's request is more fully set 
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Florida Gas says that in letter agreement dated December 17, 1984, 
it and Washington Gas have agreed to terminate the transportation 
service effective December 31, 1984. The transportation service had 
been rendered by Florida Gas under a transportation service agreement 
dated June 24, 1975, see Docket No. CP76-71, 56 FPC 463 (1976). This 
service agreement was designated as Rate Schedule X-7 in Florida Gas's 
Original Volume No. 3 of its FERC Gas Tariff. Florida Gas says that the 
proposed abandonment will not result in the abandonment of facilities 
nor will it result in the abandonment of service to any other customers 
of Florida Gas.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before May 24, 1996, 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 385.214 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, or 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 Florida Gas to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
