[Docket No. CP98-696-000]


Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

August 10, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 27, 1998, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, 
filed an application in Docket No. CP98-696-000 pursuant to section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon its 
North Elton System consisting of the North Elton 8'' Line, the North 
Elton-Daigle #1 4'' Line, the North Elton-Reese 4'' line, the North-
LeDoux 3'' Line and the Stanolind Oil & Gas Corporation (Stanolind) 
Meter Station in Jefferson Davis and Allen Parishes Louisiana, all as 
more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Gas production to the North Elton Lines has been depleted for 
sometime; however, these lines could not be removed because of a 
contractual commitment to receive gas for ANR at the Stanolind Meter 
Station. On April 24, 1997, Texas Gas received approval in Docket No. 
CP97-288-000 to abandon the related transportation service for ANR, 
which was authorized in Docket No. G-10395. With the Abandonment of 
this transportation service, the facilities proposed to be abandoned 
herein are no longer needed.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 31, 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) and 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 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 a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or it the Commission on its 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
