[Docket No. CP95-775-000]


Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Application

September 29, 1995.
    Take notice that on September 21, 1995, Natural Gas Pipeline 
Company of America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 
60148, filed in Docket No CP95-775-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for permission and approval to 
abandon an exchange service with Amoco Production Company (Amoco), all 
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    It is stated that Amoco delivered to Natural exchange quantities of 
up to an estimated 1,750 Mcf of natural gas per day, which would be 
equal to fifty percent of the natural gas received by Natural from 
Amoco, at or near the wellhead of the gas well (such gas well was 
estimated to produce up to 3,500 Mcf of natural gas per day) of Amoco 
in the West Johnson Bayou Field, Cameron Parish, Louisiana. It is 
further indicated that Natural redelivered, by displacement for the 
account of Amoco, equivalent volumes of natural gas to Florida Gas 
Transmission Company, at the outlet of the Texaco Henry Plant in 
Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The exchange service was performed 
pursuant to the August 7, 1972 exchange agreement, Natural's Rate 
Schedule X-36, and as authorized in Docket No. CP73-157.
    Natural states that it last used the agreement in 1981, and that 
there is no imbalance associated with the agreement. Natural further 
states that related gas purchase and transportation arrangements have 
already been terminated. Natural also states that recent discussions 
with Amoco indicate, that Amoco is not adverse to Natural seeking the 
abandonment requested in this proceeding.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before October 20, 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 385.214 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 their 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 Natural to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
