    \1\ Field Services has filed a related petition for declaratory 
order in Docket No. CP97-671-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Panhandle proposes to abandon by transfer to Field Services 
approximately 5.6 miles of 8-inch pipeline and related facilities. 
Panhandle states that upon approval of the requested abandonment, the 
facilities will be operated as part of Field Services' gathering 
system. Panhandle states that the facilities proposed to be abandoned 
are being transferred for $227,035, which is the net book value.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 21, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for 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 Panhandle to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
