(Trunkline), Post Office Box 1642, Houston, Texas, 77251-1642, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-227-000 a request to vacate an order it received in the

    Trunkline states that in this proceeding the Commission granted 
authorization pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to 
abandon certain facilities, referred to as the Lake Creek Lateral 
Gathering System, by sale to Winnie Pipeline Company (Winnie). It is 
indicated that subsequent to the issuance of the Order, Trunkline and 
Winnie entered into discussions to finalize the sale agreement. It is 
further indicated that these discussions broke down and that the sale 
agreement between Trunkline and Winnie has been terminated.
    Trunkline indicates that the subject facilities have not been 
abandoned and are not going to be sold as was contemplated when 
Trunkline filed its application and when the Commission issued its 
order.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before February 12, 1996, 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 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 
petition to vacate is required by the public convenience and necessity. 
If a petition 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 Trunkline to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
