[Docket No. CP99-133-000]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation; Notice of Application

December 31, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 22, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, and 
Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, 
Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, filed a joint application with the 
Commission in Docket No. CP99-133-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval to abandon an 
exchange service performed under Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff Rate 
Schedule X-52 and Texas Gas' FERC Gas Tariff Rate Schedule X-62, all as 
more fully set forth in the request which is open to the public for 
inspection.
    Tennessee and Texas Gas received authority on October 6, 1976, to 
exchange gas in Docket No. CP76-321 \1\ under their respective FERC Gas 
Tariff rate schedules. Tennessee and Texas Gas state that this exchange 
service has not been used for several years and is no longer needed. By 
mutual agreement, the parties via a letter dated July 30, 1996, 
terminated the exchange service. No facilities would be abandoned in 
this proposal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 21, 1999, 
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 
NGA (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 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, if the Commission on its 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 Tennessee or Texas Gas to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
