[Docket No. CP95-679-000]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation; Notice of Application

August 18, 1995.
    Take notice that on August 10, 1995, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, TX 77252, and Columbia Gas 
Transmission Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, WV 25314, 
filed in Docket No. CP95-679-000 a joint application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon a transportation service provided to Mississippi River 
Transmission Corporation (MRT) which was authorized in Docket No. CP83-
260-000, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee and Columbia, through the Ozark Gas Transmission 
Corporation, provided the service to MRT. However, Applicants were 
recently authorized to terminate their contracts with Ozark. As a 
result, the agreement designated as Rate Schedules T-155 and X-125, 
respectively, is no longer necessary.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before September 8, 1995 
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 Columbia to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
