Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application 
to Abandon

March 30, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 26, 1999, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco), 2800 Post Oak Blvd., Houston, Texas 77056, filed 
under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon, a 
firm sales service provided to Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) under 
Transco's Rate Schedule FS. 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 
www.ferc.fed.us. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Transco states that it entered into firm sales agreements with PGW 
on August 1, 1991, under which Transco sells gas to PGW under Rate 
Schedule FS, with a Daily Sales Entitlement of 14,493 Mcf per day. 
Under the agreement Transco delivers gas PGW at various upstream points 
of delivery. Transco seeks authorization to abandon the FS Agreement, 
effective March 31, 2000, pursuant to PGW's request to terminate the 
Agreement.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before April 20, 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)

[[Page 16438]]

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, or if the Commission on its own review 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 
hearings will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Transco to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
