[Docket No. CP98-270-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

March 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 9, 1998, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 500 
Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. CP98-
270-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act 
for permission and approval to abandon by sale a subsea side valve 
assembly (Interconnection) at West Cameron Area Block 601, offshore 
Louisiana, to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) and Columbia 
Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia Gulf), all as more fully set forth 
in the application on file with the Commission and open to pubic 
inspection.
    ANR states that the Interconnection, which was certificated in 
Docket No. CP81-281-000 along with other facilities, ties into pipeline 
facilities owned by Tennessee and Columbia Gulf. ANR also states that 
after the facilities authorized in Docket No. CP81-281-000 were placed 
in service, Samedan Oil Corporation (Samedan) tied its facilities into 
ANR's Interconnection. ANR states that the sale/abandonment of the 
Interconnection would allow Samedan to connect directly to Tennessee's 
and Columbia Gulf's facilities rather than indirectly through ANR.
    ANR states that the proposed abandonment by sale will not result in 
any termination of service, and will not otherwise change the 
authorizations granted ANR in Docket No. CP98-281-000. ANR also states 
that the sale price will be the lesser of the net book value or 
$243,680.
    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 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) 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 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 or, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for ANR to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
