[Docket No. CP98-272-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

March 17, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 10, 1998, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) 500 
Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. CP98-
272-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, 
for permission and approval to abandon, in place, by sale to Chevron 
U.S.A., Inc. (Chevron) for $100,000. Approximately 1.3 miles of 8-inch 
pipeline known as West Cameron 48 Lateral (WC 48), all as more fully 
set forth in the application of file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    The WC 48 is located in the West Cameron offshore area of 
Louisiana, extending from West Cameron Block 48, to West Cameron Block 
18. ANR states the WC 48 is a portion of the facilities that it 
constructed to attach natural gas reserves in West Cameron Block 17 (WC 
17). It is averred that Chevron ceased delivering gas through the 
lateral because its WC 48 dehydration facility needed extensive 
repairs, and its gas could not meet ANR's gas quality specifications. 
It is indicated that Chevron is drilling a new well in the WC 18 field 
and wants to acquire the WC 48 Lateral to flow reserves from this field 
to its production platform on WC 48. ANR states the last gas purchase 
contract for deliveries from this field expired on August 1, 1992, and 
states that such contract was with Chevron.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 7, 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 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 for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for ANR to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
