[Docket No. CP97-80-000]


Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Application

November 7, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 1, 1996, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), 2603 Augusta Suite 125, P.O. Box 683, Houston, 
Texas 77001-0683, filed in Docket No. CP97-80-000, an application 
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and 
approval to abandon a transportation service with Texas Gas 
Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas), which was authorized in Docket 
No. CP73-5, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Columbia Gulf proposes to abandon a transportation service with 
Texas Gas, performed under Columbia Gulf's Rate Schedules X-12 and X-
13, respectively, because the service is no longer necessary or 
beneficial. Both parties have agreed to terminate the transportation 
service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before November 29, 1996, file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 Columbia Gulf to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
