Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

August 21, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 18, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Applicant), 20 Greenway Plaza, P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas, 77251-
1478, filed in Docket No. CP98-732-000 an abbreviated application 
pursuant to Sections 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, for 
permission and approval to abandon an obsolete natural gas 
transportation service for Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT), all 
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Applicant proposes to abandon an obsolete transportation service 
formally provided to FGT pursuant to Applicant's Rate Schedule X-115. 
Applicant states that the transportation service was never utilized by 
FGT. Applicant further states that FGT 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 September 11, 1998, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a petition 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 the proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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 on this application 
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein, 
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the 
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 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 unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
