ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

February 20, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 14, 1997, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed an application 
pursuant to Sections 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the 
Commission's Regulations for authorization to utilize temporary work 
spaces and for any other authorization deemed necessary associated with 
a pipeline replacement project in Kendall County, Illinois, all as more 
fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    ANR states, that in order to satisfy U.S. Department of 
Transportation safety regulations, it proposes to replace both a 0.27 
mile and 0.29 mile line segment of its main line system due to 
increased population density in the area. ANR states that in order to 
make the replacement it will have to utilize work areas which may not 
have been included in the scope of the original authorization to 
construct the facilities. Therefore, ANR requests the temporary use of 
work space and any other authorizations deemed necessary by the 
Commission in order to make the replacement. ANR states that the 
construction will be done under the authority of Section 2.55 of the 
Commission's Regulations, which authorizes replacement within the 
existing right-of-way.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 13, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, 
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214) 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 in any proceeding herein must file a motion to intervene 
in accordance with the Commission's rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
any subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the 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 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 ANR to appear or to be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
