[Docket No. RP95-267-000]


Transwestern Pipeline Company; Notice of Section 4 Filing

May 4, 1995.
    Take notice that on May 2, 1995, Transwestern Pipeline Company 
(Transwestern), tendered for filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) in the above-referenced proceeding a Section 4 
filing.
    Transwestern states that it has previously made three abandonment 
filings (in Docket Nos. CP94-211, CP95-153 and CP95-70) for which 
Transwestern is submitting the Section 4 filing to notify the 
Commission of the proposed termination of gathering services prior to 
the effective date of such terminations. Transwestern states it is 
filing concurrently herewith a Stipulation and Agreement in Docket No. 
RP95-267 resolving, among other things, outstanding regulatory issues 
in the proceedings referenced in the Stipulation including Docket Nos. 
CP94-211, CP95-153 and CP95-70.
    Transwestern also states that as a result of restructuring under 
Order No. 636, Transwestern has determined that the facilities listed 
in the abandonment filings are no longer necessary to Transwestern's 
primary function of providing transportation services, and, as an 
interstate pipeline subject to the Commission's full regulatory 
authority, Transwestern cannot compete effectively with the unregulated 
entities providing similar gathering services with similar facilities. 
These facilities, states Transwestern, could be operated more 
efficiently by a non-regulated entity whose primary business is to 
provide production and gathering services. Therefore, Transwestern 
states that it proposes to terminate services that are performed on 
those facilities.
    Transwestern states that copies of the filing were served on its 
gas utility customers, interested state commissions, and all parties to 
this proceeding.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC, 
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests should be filed 
on or before May 11, 1995. Protests will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will 
not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person 
wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
