Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

April 8, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 6, 1999, Texas Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42301, filed an application with the Commission in Docket No. CP99-288-
000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission 
and approval to abandon an interruptible transportation service 
performed for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) under Texas 
Gas' FERC Gas Tariff Rate Schedule X-82, all as more fully set forth in 
the request which is open to the public for inspection. The application 
may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us. Call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance.
    Texas Gas received authority on December 7, 1979, to transport up 
to 80,000 Mcf of natural gas and associated liquids per day for 
Tennessee via its capacity in the High Island Offshore System and the 
Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company from West Cameron Block 167, 
offshore Louisiana, to an exchange point between Texas Gas and 
Tennessee at Egan, Acadia Parish, Louisiana.\1\ Texas Gas states that 
Tennessee no longer needs this interruptible transportation service. By 
mutual agreement, the parties via a letter dated March 8, 1999, 
terminated the transportation 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 April 29, 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 Texas Gas to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
