    Texas Eastern and Tennessee have mutually agreed to terminate the

termination agreements between Tennessee and Texas Eastern dated August 
23, 1995, July 7, 1995, May 16, 1995 and May 16, 1995 for Texas 
Eastern's Rate Schedules X-65, X-73, X-111 and X-126 and Tennessee's

Texas Eastern and Tennessee request that the abandonment be effective

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before September 28, 1995, 
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 385.211) 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 Texas Eastern and Tennessee to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
