[Docket No. CP99-531-000]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.; Application for Abandonment

May 27, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 21, 1999, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, PO Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-
2511, filed in Docket No. CP99-531-000 an application pursuant to 
section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon the natural gas transportation service which Tennessee provides 
to Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural) all as more fully 
set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-0400 for 
assistance).
    Tennessee proposes to abandon the natural gas service which 
Tennessee provides to Natural under Tennessee's Rate Schedule T-159. 
Tennessee states that Natural no longer requires this transportation 
service and both parties have mutually agreed to the abandonment of 
such service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before June 17, 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 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 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 herein, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed certificate and 
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.
