Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on August 1, 2017, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC 
(Texas Gas), 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046 filed a 
prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
abandon certain natural gas pipeline assets, ancillary facilities and 
appurtenances, located in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana and Louisiana 
State waters. Specifically, Texas Gas proposes to (1) abandon in place 
approximately 3.61 miles of 8.625-inch-diameter pipeline, known as the 
Bay Junop to Bay Round 8-inch pipeline; (2) abandon in place 
approximately 10.05 miles and abandon by removal approximately 0.24 
miles of 8.625-inch-diameter pipeline, known as the Bay Round to Block 
8 8-inch pipeline; and (3) abandon by removal the Bay Round Platform 
and the Brammer Old Camp Pass Platform. These Facilities have been 
idled since 2012 and abandonment avoids the ongoing maintenance costs 
of unused existing natural gas pipeline assets. There will be no impact 
to any customer's service as a result of the abandonment, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web
