[Docket No. CP96-701-000]


Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

August 20, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 9, 1996, Mississippi River Transmission 
Corporation (MRT), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, filed 
in Docket No. CP96-701-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of 
the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon an exchange 
service with Mid Louisiana Gas Company (Mid La), which was authorized 
in Docket No. CP73-83, all as more fully set forth in the application 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    MRT proposes to abandon an exchange service with Mid La because the 
service is no longer necessary or beneficial and both parties have 
agreed to terminate the exchange service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before September 10, 1996, file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

[[Page 43752]]

Washington, DC 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 provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for MRT to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
