[Docket No. CP98-111-000]


Sea Robin Pipeline Company and Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation; Notice of Application

December 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 3, 1997, Sea Robin Pipeline Company 
(Sea Robin), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, and 
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, 
Houston, Texas 77251-1397, filed in Docket No. CP98-111-000 an 
abbreviated joint application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a transportation service 
for Transco performed under Sea Robin's Rate Schedule X-28 which was 
authorized in Docket No. CP79-433, all as more fully set forth in the 
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Sea Robin and Transco state that Sea Robin has provided 
transportation service of up to 4,690 Mcf per day on behalf of Transco 
pursuant to Sea Robin's Rate Schedule X-28 from Eugene Island Block 
261, offshore Louisiana, to delivery points onshore at Erath, 
Louisiana. Such service was provided pursuant to a transportation 
agreement dated October 2, 1980, which primary term expired December 4, 
1990, and the term of the agreement extended from year to year 
thereafter. Transco states that the abandonment of this Rate Schedule 
is appropriate since Transco has not nominated gas or received service 
under the agreement since March, 1992. The abandonment of the Rate 
Schedule will not require any abandonment of facilities. Sea Robin and 
Transco state that they are agreeable to the termination effective as 
of the date the Commission approves abandonment of Rate Schedule X-28.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 2, 1998, 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

[[Page 66349]]

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 Sea Robin and Transco to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
