    Take notice that on March 30, 1998, High Island Offshore System 
(HIOS), 500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-311-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the

transportation service currently being rendered for Texas Gas 
Transmission Corporation (TGT), all as more fully set forth in the 
application on file with the Federal Energy Commission (Commission) and 
open to public inspection.
    HIOS proposes to abandon its firm transportation service which HIOS 
is rendering in accordance with HIOS' Rate Schedule T-3, as well as 
associated Interruptible Overrun Transportation Service rendered in 
accordance with HIOS' Rate Schedule I.
    HIOS proposes to terminate these services at the end of the 
evergreen term of Rate Schedule T-3, effective May 29, 1998 in 
accordance with the terms of such rate schedule and in accordance with 
timely notice given by TGT to HIOS.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before April 22, 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 NGA (18 CFR 357.10). 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 NGA 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 HIOS to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
