[Docket No. CP98-752-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company and Southern Natural Gas 
Company; Notice of Application

September 9, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 28, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, and Southern 
Natural Gas Company (Southern) 1900 Fifth Avenue North, Birmingham, 
Alabama 35303, (jointly referred to as Applicants) filed in Docket No. 
CP98-752-000 a joint application with the Commission, pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Regulations for permission and approval to abandon 
an exchange service and to abandon and remove a measurement station, 
all as more fully set forth in the petition to amend which is open to 
public inspection.
    Applicants state that they exchange gas at existing points of 
interconnection between their facilities in Escambia County, Alabama 
and Washington Parish, Louisiana. The exchange was a ``no fee'' 
exchange and gas deliveries were made on an equivalent Btu gas for gas 
exchange.
    Applicants state that their jointly owned 3.2-mile line in Escambia 
County, Alabama, which has gas flowing, has such gas measured at the 
discharge side of Exxon Corporation's gas treatment plant and at a 
station located on FGT's 30-inch line. Because of costly repairs, 
Applicants agreed that such stations are not required (in view of the 
three miles which separates them) and therefore propose to abandon 
such.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before September 30, 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 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 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 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

[[Page 49346]]

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 Applicants to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
