Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application To Abandon

March 25, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 22, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed under Section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon by removal, 
certain facilities connected to its 30-inch mainline pipeline No. 100-
3. The facilities are located in Wharton County, Texas, near milepost 
16-3=4.62 on the mainline and are designated by Tennessee as the West 
Bernard facilities. They consist of a side valve, a riser, a ball 
valve, a check valve, a 4-inch meter and 16 feet of 2-inch station 
piping and appurtenances. Tennessee states that these facilities are no 
longer needed. This information is more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. The application may also be viewed on the web at http//
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before April 15, 1999, 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 Protesters 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
