[Docket No. CP97-362-001]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Amendment

July 9, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 30, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP97-362-001, an amendment to its application filed in Docket No. 
CP97-362-000. The amended application is to reflect revised Exhibits Y 
and Z. The initial application in Docket No. CP97-362-000 was filed 
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, seeking permission and 
approval to abandon, by sale to Copano Field Services Copano Bay, L.P., 
a Texas Limited Partnership (Copano), certain natural gas supply 
laterals and related appurtenant facilities located in the counties of 
Nueces and San Patricio, Texas, all as more fully set forth in FGT's 
amendment which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    FGT indicates that it will construct electronic flow measurement 
equipment and related appurtenant facilities (new receipt point), once 
Copano takes possession of the above stated facilities. Exhibit Y was 
amended to reflect FGT's estimated cost to construct the electronic 
flow measurement equipment and related appurtenant facilities. FGT 
indicated in its original application, that it proposes to sell Copano 
the 17.5 mile 12-inch Encinal Channel Lateral; the 0.3 mile 4-inch 
Shell East White Point Lateral; the 2.7 mile 4-inch Nueces Bay Lateral; 
the 0.2 mile 4-inch Phillips East White Point Lateral; the 2.1 mile 3-
inch Angelita Lateral; and all related appurtenant facilities. In 
addition, FGT states that it seeks Commission permission to transfer by 
sale to Copano the 0.3 mile 4-inch Phillips Spradley Lateral which FGT 
states was abandoned in place pursuant to an order issued by the 
Commission on May 5, 1983, in Docket No. CP83-80-000.
    It is further stated that the abandonment and sale proposed herein 
will not impair any current services nor will it disadvantage any 
existing customer of FGT. FGT indicates that the proposed abandonment 
and sale of the subject facilities will save FGT approximately $10,500 
per year in operating and maintenance costs.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said amendment should on or before July 30,

(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be

party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules. All persons who have heretofore
