Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-211-000]


Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

February 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 30, 1998, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (TETCO), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310 
filed in Docket No. CP98-211-000 an application pursuant to Section 
7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval for 
TETCO to construct and operate certain replacement facilities in 
Jackson and Ripley Counties, Indiana and to abandon the existing 
pipeline being replaced, all as more fully set forth in the application 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, TETCO proposes to replace two discrete sections of 
24-inch pipe which total 2,442 feet in length (630 feet and 1812 feet) 
in Jackson and Ripley Counties, Indiana. TETCO states that the new 
replacement facilities will enable TETCO to comply with the U.S. 
Department of Transportation's Minimum Federal Safety Standards and 
will ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of its system. 
TETCO indicates that the replacement segments will have a design 
delivery capacity equivalent to the facilities being replaced and will 
not change TETCO system's maximum daily design capacity. TETCO 
estimates the total cost of the replacement to be $2,001,000.
    Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before 
February 27, 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)

[[Page 7140]]

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 proceedings. 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.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the 
intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes 
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as 
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
    A person does not to intervene, however, in order to have comments 
considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of comments to the 
Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed on the 
Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    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 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 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 TETCO to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
