[Docket No. CP98-269-000]


Arkansas Western Pipeline Company and Arkansas Western Pipeline 
L.L.C.; Notice of Application

March 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 6, 1998, Arkansas Western Pipeline 
Company (AWP) and Arkansas Western Pipeline, L.L.C. (AWP, LLC) 
(collectively the Applicants) filed an application under Section 7(c) 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), requesting that the Commission approve a 
transaction whereby AWP, LLC would succeed AWP as the owner of 
facilities and holder certificates of public convenience and necessity 
related to those facilities and services previously authorized by this 
Commission, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, AWP requests permission and approval under NGA 7(b) 
to abandon by transfer to AWP, LLC pipeline and appurtenant facilities 
currently dedicated to interstate service as well as the various 
certificates of public convenience and necessity which AWP currently 
holds. It is stated that for its part, AWP, LLC requests issuance under 
NGA Section 7(c) of certificates of public convenience and necessity 
identical to those abandoned by AWP, under which AWP, LLC will operate 
the facilities and render the services previously operated and 
performed by its predecessor, AWP. In addition, AWP and AWP, LLC 
request approval under Part 154 of this Commission's Regulations to 
make minor modifications to AWP's existing FERC Gas Tariff necessary to 
reflect AWP, LLC's succession to AWP's currently effective tariff.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 6, 1998, file 
with 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 385.211 or 385.214) 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 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 petition to 
intervene is filed within the time required herein or if the Commission 
on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the application 
is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a petition 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 Applicants to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
