[Docket No. CP95-786-000]


ANR Pipeline Co.; Notice of Application

October 3, 1995.
    Take notice that on September 28, 1995, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. 
CP95-786-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations 
thereunder, for permission and approval to abandon a transportation 
service used to implement storage service for United Cities Gas Company 
(United Cities), all as more fully set forth in the application which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    ANR states that it was authorized to transport a total annual 
storage volume of 25,000 Mcf of natural gas for United Cities under 
Rate Schedule X-99. ANR further states that under Rate Schedule X-99, 
ANR received and delivered natural gas for United Cities to and from 
storage with ANR Storage Company (Storage Company) for the account of 
United Cities during the summer injection period and the winter 
withdrawal period at the following points: Defiance County, Ohio, 
Wastenaw County, Michigan, Mescosta County, Michigan, and Crawford 
County, Michigan. ANR indicates that Rate Schedule X-99 provided for an 
initial term of fifteen years, commencing April 1, 1980, and thereafter 
year to year until terminated by either party with at least twelve 
months written notice. It is further indicated that by a letter dated 
June 15, 1995, United Cities requested abandonment of Rate Schedule X-
99 effective October 31, 1995. ANR avers that by mutual agreement 
United Cities and ANR agreed to replace Rate Schedule X-99 with a firm 
transportation agreement, effective November 1, 1995, under Rate 
Schedule FTS-1 of ANR's FERC Gas Tariff.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before October 24, 1995, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
20426, a petition 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 the proceeding or to participate as 
a party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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 on this application 
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein, 
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the 
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission 
on its 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 ANR to appear or be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
