June 27, 1997.
    Take notice that, on June 20, 1997, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 500 
Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed an abbreviated 
application requesting: (1) permission and approval, pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, to abandon (i.e., spin-down) a 
portion of its Holly Ridge Lateral facilities to ANR Field Services 
Company (ANRFS); (2) authorization, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act, to refunctionalize the Holly Ridge Lateral facilities 
that ANR will retain, from gathering to transmission; and (3) that the 
Commission find that the facilities to be transferred to ANRFS will be 
non-jurisdictional facilities after the transfer, all as more fully set 
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    The Holly Ridge Lateral facilities include 26.98 miles of 8-inch 
diameter pipeline, two 600 horsepower (hp) compressors, and a meter 
station. The first leg of the Holly Ridge Lateral extends for 15.88 
miles, from ANR's Holly Ridge Meter Station, in Section 30, T11N, R10E, 
Tensas Parish, Louisiana, and on to ANR's Gilbert Interconnection with 
Mid Louisiana Gas Company, located in Section 8, T12N, R8E, Franklin 
Parish, Louisiana.From the Gilbert Interconnection, the Holly Ridge 
Lateral continues for another 11.1 miles to the a tie-in with ANR's 
Southeast Mainline, in Section 12, T13N, R6E, Franklin Parish, 
Louisiana.
    ANR proposes to spindown the 15.88-mile portion of its Holly Ridge 
Lateral, the two 600 hp compressors, and the meter station to ANRFS. 
ANR proposes to retain and refunctionalize (from gathering to 
transmission) the remaining 11.1 miles of its Holly Ridge Lateral, and 
the Gilbert Interconnection. ANR requests that the Commission issue an 
order in this proceeding by August 1, 1997, authorizing ANR to spindown 
(to ANRFS) the Holly Ridge Lateral facilities upstream of the Gilbert 
Interconnection, authorizing ANR to refunctionalize the remaining Holly 
Ridge Lateral facilities (from gathering to transmission), and finding 
that the transferred facilities will be non-jurisdictional facilities 
after they have been transferred to ANRFS.
    Any person desiring to be heard, or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before July 18, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington D.C., 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 the proceeding, or to Docket 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment and a 
grant of the certificate authorization are required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or 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 ANR to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
