Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-122-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

December 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 8, 1997, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, 
filed an abbreviated application in Docket No. CP98-122-000 pursuant to 
section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations for an order granting permission and approval to abandon by 
removal an existing engine at its Slaughters Compressor Station in 
Webster County, Kentucky, all as more fully set forth in the 
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Texas Gas proposes to abandon by removal a 41-year-old, seldom used 
Ingersoll-Rand SVG engine rated at 330 horsepower. Although the total 
rated horsepower for the Slaughters Compression Station will be 
slightly lower, this is of no significance because there still exists 
sufficient horsepower at the Dixie Storage Field to which the 
compressor engine was dedicated that will ensure that certificated 
injection and withdrawal capacities are met.
    Texas Gas states that the costs associated with the removal of this 
engine are approximately $92,900.
    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, 888 First Street N.E., 
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 and 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. The Commission's rules require that protestors 
provide copies of their protests to the party or parties directly 
involved. 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 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 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 Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
