[Docket No. CP98-237-000]


Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

February 26, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 17, 1998, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (TETCO), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas, 77251-1642, 
filed in Docket No. CP98-237-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to 
Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Sections 
157.7 and 157.18 of the Federal Energy

[[Page 10599]]

Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations thereunder, for 
permission and approval to replace certain facilities located in 
Hidalgo County, Texas, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    TETCO proposes to replace approximately 2,891 feet of thirty-inch 
pipeline, abandon the existing pipeline being replaced, acquire new 
permanent right-of-way, and utilize temporary work space during the 
construction of such facilities. TETCO asserts that the replacement 
pipeline will also be thirty-inches in diameter and will therefore have 
the same design delivery capacity as the thirty-inch pipeline being 
replaced. TETCO further asserts that the replacement proposed herein 
will not change TETCO's maximum daily design capacity. It is indicated 
that the total capital cost of the proposed facilities is approximately 
$1,620,000.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 19, 1998, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, a petition 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 the proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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 on this application 
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein, 
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the 
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition 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 provide for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for TETCO to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
