December 30, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 21, 1998, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, tendered 
for filing in Docket No. CP99-131-000 an application pursuant to 
Sections 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to

[[Page 865]]

    Panhandle states that it would abandon in place, by sale to Dynegy 
Energy Resources, Limited Partnership (Dynegy), approximately 2.882 
miles of 4-inch pipeline and related facility. Panhandle states further 
that upon abandonment, Dynegy would operate the facilities as part of 
its non-jurisdictional gathering system and asks the Commission to find 
the facilities to be non-jurisdictional upon abandonment.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protest with reference to said application should on or before January 
19, 1999, 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 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
will be considered by it in determing the appropriate action to be 
taken but will not service to make the protestants parties to the 
proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protectors provide 
copies of their protests to the party or parties directly involved. 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.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be place on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the 
invervenors. An Intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
order and can petition of court review of any such order. However, an 
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes 
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as 
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered, a person, instead, may submit two copies of 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    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 is own review of the matter finds 
that permission and approval for 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 Panhandle to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
