Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application To 
Abandon

May 29, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 21, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission Company 
(Applicant), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon, a 
certificated transportation service with Southern Natural Gas Company 
(SNG). The service is Applicant's Rate Schedule X-23 in its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Original Volume No. 3. Applicant's proposal is more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Applicant states that under this transportation service it 
transported 20,000 MMBtu/d on a best efforts basis from an 
interconnection between Applicant's facilities and Louisiana Resources 
Company in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana to an interconnection between 
Applicant and SNG in Washington Parish, Louisiana.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before June 19, 1997, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
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 385.214 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, 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.
