[Docket No. CP98-26-000]


CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

October 21, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 14, 1997, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNGT), 445 West Main Street, P.O. Box 2450, Clarksburg, West Virginia 
26302-2450, filed in Docket No. CP98-26-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon in place seven miles of 2-inch pipeline, known as Lines H-2 and 
D-10372, located in Marshall and Doddridge Counties, West Virginia, all 
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    CNGT proposes to abandon in place approximately 35,721 feet of 2-
inch pipeline known as H-2, located in Marshall County and 1,145 feet 
of 2-inch pipeline known as D-10372, located in Doddridge County, West 
Virginia, due to the age and condition of the lines. CNGT states that 
Hope Gas, Inc. has approximately fifteen residential customers on the 
lines whose service will be replaced by propane or other available 
utility service in accordance with the West Virginia Pubic Service 
Commission. CNGT declares the facilities need to be abandoned and are 
no longer economic to maintain for the few residential consumers 
located on former production properties that currently do not have 
production connected to the lines.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said Application should on or before November 12, 1997, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.E., 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 385.211 or 18 CFR 385.214) 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 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 petition 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 abandonment 
is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a petition 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 Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
