Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

October 27, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 20, 1997, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511 an 
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for 
permission and approval to abandon a meter station located in

[[Page 58957]]

Butler County, Kentucky, all as more fully set forth in the application 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Tennessee proposes to abandon, partially by removal and partially 
in place, the Bowling Green Meter Station, which consists of a meter, 
piping and appurtenant facilities. It is stated that the facilities 
were installed in 1959 and are no longer needed, because a new meter 
station has been installed under Tennessee's automatic authorization to 
replace these facilities. It is asserted that the facilities proposed 
for abandonment are obsolete and that Tennessee has determined that 
upgrading the facilities would not be practical or cost effective. It 
is further asserted that the facilities have been inactive since April 
1, 1997. It is estimated that the cost of removing the facilities would 
be $22,000. Tennessee states that the proposal would not result in the 
abandonment of service to any customer.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before November 17, 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 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
