Authorization

    Take notice that on September 10, 2014, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern), pursuant to its blanket certificate authorization 
granted in Docket No. CP82-535-000,\1\ filed an application in 
accordance to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, requesting 
authority to abandon by sale certain pipeline facilities and removing 
related ancillary facilities, as necessary, located in Lincoln Parish,

longer required for gas service, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.

    Texas Eastern requests authorization to abandon by sale to Regency, 
5.97 miles of 14-inch diameter and 2.83 miles of 12-inch diameter 
pipelines designated as Line 2-H, and 2.1 miles of 12-inch diameter 
pipeline designated a Line 2-H-1. In additional, Texas Eastern proposes 
to remove certain related facilities. Regency specializes in the 
gathering and processing, contract compression, contract treating, 
transportation, fractionation and storage of natural gas and natural 
gas liquids. Regency intends to operate the pipelines as low-pressure 
gathering upon acquisition. The 2-H and 2-H-1 pipelines have not 
provided service to customers since April 2010, and its capacity is not 
currently subscribed under any firm service agreements.
