DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP94-300-000]

 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. and Florida Gas Transmission Co.; 
Abandonment

March 29, 1994.
    Take notice that on March 22, 1994, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252 and Florida Gas 
Transmission Company (FGT), P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251, filed 
a joint application in Docket No. CP94-300-000 pursuant to section 7(b) 
of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon the 
exchange of natural gas, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee and FGT propose to abandon the exchange of natural gas 
pursuant to a December 10, 1962 Gas Exchange Agreement included in 
Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff as Rate Schedule X-17 and in FGT's FERC Gas 
Tariff as Rate Schedule E-2. Tennessee and FGT state that these rate 
schedules provide for the exchange of natural gas between the parties 
at the point where FGT's 24-inch main line crosses Tennessee's 30-inch 
Delta-Portland Line in Stone County, Mississippi. Tennessee and FGT 
state that since both parties have open access transportation 
certificates and have restructured their services under Order No. 636, 
there is no longer a need for the exchange service as certificated by 
the Commission.
    Tennessee states that it notified FGT of its intent to terminate 
the exchange agreement on April 30, 1993. FGT states that it agreed to 
this termination on January 18, 1994.
    Tennessee and FGT do not propose to abandon any facilities as a 
result of the authorization requested.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 19, 1994, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 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, 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 Tennessee and FGT to appear or to be 
represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
