Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. CP94-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    U-TOS proposes to abandon (a) a firm transportation service for 
Northern which is being rendered under an agreement dated May 1, 1978, 
on file as U-TOS' Rate Schedule T-9, and (b) an associated 
interruptible overrun transportation service rendered in accordance 
with U-TOS' Rate Schedule I. It is explained that the transportation 
agreement provides for gas received from Northern at a U-TOS 
interconnect with the HIOS system in West Cameron Block 167, offshore 
Louisiana, to be transported and delivered in Cameron Parish, 
Louisiana. U-TOS states that the currently effective contract demand is 
18,150 Mcf per day and the related interruptible overrun volume is 
28,364 Mcf per day. It is stated that any capacity resulting from the 
proposed abandonment would become available for services U-TOS provides 
under Part 284 of the Commission's regulations. U-TOS further states 
that the parties have agreed to terminate the transportation services 
effective August 31, 1994, and requests abandonment authorization 
consistent with that agreement.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 11, 1994, 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 and 
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 Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
