Take notice that on July 9, 1997, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, filed an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for permission and approval to abandon two interruptible transportation services for CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG), all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Texas Gas states that in Docket No. CP72-186, it was authorized to provide transportation service for CNG pursuant to an Interruptible Transportation Agreement dated December 27, 1971 (Rate Schedule X-42). Likewise, in Docket No. CP78-331, Texas Gas was authorized to provide interruptible transportation service for CNG pursuant to a Transportation Service Agreement dated March 20, 1978 (Rate Schedule X- 77). Texas Gas states that these transactions are no longer required or appropriate. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should, on or before August 12, 1997, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 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 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. [[Page 40347]] Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in and subject to 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, if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that permission and approval of abandonment is 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 formal hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given. Under the procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will be unnecessary for Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the hearing. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
