    It is indicated that pursuant to Agreement A, Applicants agreed to

indicate that pursuant to Agreement B, they agreed to exchange gas by 
mutual dispatching arrangements in Brooks and Hidalgo Counties, Texas.
    It is indicated that Applicants have exchanged termination 
agreements for each exchange agreement, dated April 17, 1995, and May 
30, 1995, respectively. It is further indicated that no imbalances

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with

file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20426, a petition to intervene or a protest in accordance with 
requirement of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be

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 provide for, unless otherwise advised,
