Continental Natural Gas, Inc.; Notice of Application

December 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 1, 1997, Continental Natural Gas, Inc. 
(CNG) filed under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for a 
Section 7 certificate and also for a blanket certificate under Part 
157, Subpart F authorizing conversion and continued operation of an 11 
mile pipeline segment under Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    CNG owns natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Beaver 
County, Oklahoma. CNG gathers and processes gas using its two natural 
gas plants, the Beaver Plant and the Mocane Plant along with inlet and 
outlet facilities. In Plant Owners v. Continental Natural Gas, 80 FERC 
para. 61,285, the Commission determined that the 11-mile, 10-inch 
diameter pipeline connecting the Beaver Plant with ANR Pipeline Company 
(ANR) is a jurisdictional transmission line. As a result, CNG now seeks 
a Section 7 certificate and blanket certificate authorization. CNG 
states that it has no intention of changing the manner in which it 
operates the 11-mile line and that the line will remain dedicated to 
moving CNG's gas from its Beaver Plant to ANR.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to this application should, on or before December 29, 1997, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 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. Copies of this 
filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection.
    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 Sec. 385.802 
of 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, or 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 the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
