[Docket No. CP98-71-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

November 13, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 5, 1997, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, MI 48243, filed in Docket No. CP98-71-
000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for 
permission and approval to abandon by transfer 11.74 miles of 10-inch 
pipeline located in Wheeler County, TX and Beckham County, OK, all as 
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    ANR proposes to transfer to its affiliate, ANR Field Services 
Company at net book value, its Mayfield Lateral located in Beckham 
County, OK and Wheeler County, TX.
    The facilities, it is said, consists of 11.74 miles of 10-inch 
pipeline and extent from the Mayfield Gathering System to an 
intersection with ANR's 16-inch trunkline 496-1602.
    ANR requests that the Commission declare that the facilities are 
gathering facilities exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction under 
Section 1(b) of the Natural Gas Act.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protest with reference to said application should on or before December 
4, 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 
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 ANR to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
