Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

February 28, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 26, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in Docket 
No. CP96-211-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.216) for authorization to abandon 3 sales meters along Tennessee's 
right-of-way in Wharton, Victoria and Jackson Counties, Texas, under 
Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-413-000 
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Tennessee proposes to abandon the 3 meters, which were used for 
irrigation of rice farms, because they are no longer required by the 
customers and no gas is flowing through them. It is stated that 
Tennessee would abandon the meters, related value assemblies and all 
above-ground appurtenant facilities by removal and dispose of the 
material as scrap. It is asserted that the meters were installed in the 
1950's and 1960's and that Tennessee's contracts for sales to the 
customers have all been terminated. Tennessee has provided letters from 
the three customers agreeing to the proposed abandonments.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
