[Docket No. CP98-754-000]


CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application To Abandon

September 3, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 31, 1998, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301 filed in 
Docket No. CP98-754-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) regulations, for authority to abandon storage 
services under CNG's Rate Schedule GSS-II, over a five-year period 
commencing as of November 1, 1998. CNG states that its application has 
been filed to implement the provisions of Article VII of the 
Stipulation and Agreement (the Stipulation) that was also filed on 
August 31, 1998, in Docket No. RP97-406-000, et al. In the Stipulation, 
CNG seeks authorization to convert GSS-II services to corresponding 
levels of service under the terms and conditions of CNG's Rate 
Schedules GSS and FT. CNG also requests that the Commission consolidate 
its review of the instant application with its consideration of the 
offer of settlement in Docket No. RP97-406-000, et al. CNG's proposal 
is more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before September 21, 1998, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC 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 be 
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide 
copies of their protests to the party or person to whom the protests 
are directed. 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that 
permission and approval of 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 CNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
