2. Southern Natural Gas Co.

[Docket No. CP94-314-000]

    Take notice that on March 29, 1994, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563 filed in 
Docket No. CP94-314-000 a request pursuant to Section 157.205 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
abandon measurement facilities at certain farm tap locations, under its 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000, all as more 
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Southern states that it has provided natural gas service to right-
of-way grantors and other rural residences, designated as farm taps, at 
various locations throughout its transmission system. Southern 
indicates that it seeks to abandon eleven of these farm tap facilities 
by transfer to certain local distribution companies that currently 
receive transportation service from Southern. According to Southern, 
effective November 1, 1993, these local distribution companies began 
service to the right-of-way owners at the farm taps that Southern seeks 
to abandon and Southern cancelled its existing sales agreements with 
the right-of-way owners. Southern states that such cancellation was 
necessary as part of Southern's abandonment of its traditional merchant 
sales service pursuant to the terms of Order No. 636.
    Comment date: May 19, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph G 
at the end of this notice.

convenience and necessity to establish Rate Schedule PS, which would 
create 10 paper pooling points along Koch Gateway's system, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
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, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate and/or 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 applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
    G. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.

Secretary.
