contract with Flagg on July 27, 1997, in accord with the Billing and 
Payment provisions of its FERC Gas Tariff.

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 a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.

it will be unnecessary for Tennessee to appear or be represented at the
