    Texas Eastern proposes to abandon: (i) approximately 25 miles of 
24-inch diameter Line No. 1, located between Texas Eastern's Waynesburg 
Compressor Station in Greene County, Pennsylvania and Texas Eastern's 
Waynesburg Compressor Station in Greene County, Pennsylvania and Texas 
Eastern's Uniontown Compressor Station in Fayette County, Pennsylvania; 
(ii) approximately 120 miles of 20-inch diameter Line No. 2, located 
between Texas Eastern's Somerset Compressor Station in Perry County, 
Ohio and Texas Eastern's Waynesburg Compressor Station in Greene 
County, Pennsylvania; and (iii) Texas Eastern's Wind Ridge Compressor 
Station located in Greene County, Pennsylvania.
    Texas Eastern states that the facilities proposed to be abandoned 
have already been removed from active service and will not have any 
effect on its existing natural gas services, tariffs or rate schedules.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before November 3, 1995, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, N.E., 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 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 to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
