[Docket No. CP98-98-000]


Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company; Notice of Application

November 28, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 21, 1997, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, 
and Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch) (jointly referred to as 
Applicants), filed in Docket No. CP98-98-000, an application pursuant 
to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon an exchange service by and between themselves, all as more 
fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Applicants assert that they have agreed to terminate the exchange 
service pursuant to a letter agreement, dated April 12, 1996, which is 
evidenced by Texas Eastern's Rate Schedule X-131 and Koch's Rate 
Schedule X-168.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before December 19, 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 provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be
