Ozark Gas Transmission System; Notice of Application

April 25, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 21, 1997, Ozark Gas Transmission System 
(Ozark), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002, filed an 
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 
157 of the Commission's Regulations for permission and approval to 
abandon by removal one lateral line compressor located at Ozark's 
Carter Compressor Station in Franklin County, Arkansas, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Ozark seeks to abandon by removal one of the two 
compressors at the Carter Compressor Station. Ozark says the compressor 
is no longer needed because there has been a significant drop in gas 
volumes on the Carter Lateral. Ozark says the one remaining 300 HP 
compressor at the Carter Compressor Station will be sufficient to 
compress the remaining supply on the lateral. Ozark further states that 
after approval of abandonment, it will retain in the abandoned 
compressor for future use.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before May 16, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or 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 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 of abandonment is 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 procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be

unnecessary for Ozark to appear or be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
