    Specifically, Texas Eastern is seeking authority to abandon firm 
transportation service it provides for Transco under the Rate Schedule 
X-79 as authorized in Docket No. CP76-362-000. Texas Eastern states

the terms and conditions of a Transportation Agreement dated March 23, 
1976, included as Rate Schedule X-79 of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas 
Tariff, Original Volume No. 2.
    Texas Eastern states that Transco requested it to transport certain 
quantities of natural gas from Texas Eastern's Block 245, East Cameron, 
offshore Louisiana; and/or an existing sub-sea tap on Texas Eastern's 
offshore pipeline system in West Cameron Block 286, offshore Louisiana; 
and/or an existing sub-sea tap on Texas Eastern's offshore pipeline 
system in East Cameron Block 312, offshore Louisiana. Texas Eastern 
further states that the gas is delivered to an existing interconnection 
of facilities of Texas Eastern and Transco near Ragley, Louisiana; and/
or by mutual agreement with Transco, at other points in the supply area 
and where delivery can be accomplished to or for the account of 
Transco.
    Texas Eastern states that the Transportation Agreement has a 
primary term of eighteen (18) years from the date of initial delivery, 
and from year to year thereafter until terminated by either party upon 
two (2) years prior written notice. Texas Eastern states that Transco, 
by letter dated December 7, 1992, notified Texas Eastern of its 
election to terminate Rate Schedule X-79 at the end of the primary 
term, December 17, 1994.
    Texas Eastern does not propose to abandon any facilities.
