El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

February 17, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 10, 1999, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(El Paso), PO Box 1492, El Paso, Texas, 79978, filed a request pursuant 
to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) pursuant to its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-435-000, for authorization to 
abandon and remove one tap and four meter facilities serving KN 
Marketing, L.P. (KN), all as more fully set forth in the request that 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
application may be viewed at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 
(202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    By letter agreement dated August 10, 1998, KN consented to El 
Paso's abandonment by removal the Ewing Halsell Tap, the Lariat, 
Farwell Junction, Friona South, and the Palo Dura Meter Stations due to 
long-term inactivity. El Paso advises that the tap and meter stations 
have been on a temporary disconnect since January 1985 and May 1991, 
respectively.
    El Paso also states that after the abandonment, any salvable 
materials will be removed and scrapped, that non-salvable items will be 
removed and placed in stock, and that the abandonment will render no 
interruption, reduction or termination of natural gas service presented 
rendered to El Paso's customers. El Paso has estimated the cost of 
removal at $500.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (19 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
