[Docket No. CP98-313-000]


Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

April 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 31, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), Post Office Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-313-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval to abandon 
various obsolete transportation services for Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco) all as more fully set forth in the 
application on file with the Federal Energy Commission (Commission) and 
open to public inspection.
    Koch Gateway proposes to abandon obsolete transportation services 
formally provided to Transco pursuant to Koch Gateway's Rate Schedule 
X-158. Koch Gateway states that Transco concurs with the proposed 
abandonment and that no facilities are proposed to be abandoned.
    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 Koch Gateway to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
