[Docket No. CP97-507-000]


Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Application to 
Abandon

May 14, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 5, 1997, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Applicant), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas, 77251-1642, filed 
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to 
abandon by removal, six compressor units and related facilities located 
at Applicant's Adams Compressor Station, in Texas County,

[[Page 27599]]

Oklahoma, all as more fully described in the application on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Applicant proposes to abandon the six compressors at the Adams 
Compressor Station, because there has been a significant drop in gas 
well head pressures which the Compressors were designed to handle. 
Production rates from the gas reservoirs in the area upstream of the 
Adams Compressor Station have been declining and no additional 
production is expected. The compressor units to be abandoned total 
3,532 horsepower. Applicant states that the remaining compressor units 
at the Adams station can provide compression requirements in the 
future.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before June 4, 1997, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
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 Protesters 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 
Regulation 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds 
that permission and approval of 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 herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
