[Docket No. CP98-195-000]


CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

January 30, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 22, 1998, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia, 26301, filed an 
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for an 
order permitting and approving the abandonment of the No. 2 Engine at 
the Helvetia Compressor Station (Engine No 2), all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    CNG proposes to abandon its Engine No. 2 at CNG's Helvetia 
Compressor Station located in Brady Township, Clearfield County, PA. 
CNG asserts that due to a decline in the production of natural gas in 
the area surrounding the Helvetia Station, the abandonment proposal 
herein will not result in the loss of any service to any of CNG's 
customers. CNG further asserts that the abandonment of this facility 
will result in the elimination of operating and maintenance costs of 
this engine unit.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest with reference to 
said application should on or before February 20, 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 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 the issuance of certificate authorization and 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 CNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
