CNG Transmission Corporation; Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; 
Notice of Application

September 15, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 10, 1997, CNG Transmission 
Corporation (CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 
26302-2450 and Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas), Post 
Office Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, filed a joint abbreviated 
application in Docket No. CP97-744-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval to abandon a natural 
gas exchange service between CNG and Texas Gas all as more fully set 
forth in the application on file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) and open to public inspection.
    CNG and Texas Gas propose to abandon a natural gas exchange service 
which was authorized in Docket No. CP72-183 that was provided under 
CNG's Rate Schedule X-11 in its FPC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2 
and Texas Gas's Rate Schedule X-43 in its FPC Gas Tariff, Original 
Volume No. 2. CNG and Texas Gas state that the exchange service expired 
by its own terms; therefore, it is 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 October 6, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 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 NGA (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 NGA 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 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 CNG and Texas Gas to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.
