[Docket No. CP00-21-000]


Reliant Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application 
for Abandonment Authorization

November 10, 1999.
    Take notice that on November 4, 1999, Reliant Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (Reliant), a Delaware corporation, whose main 
office is located at 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77210, filed 
in the referenced docket pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas 
Act (``NGA'') and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (the Commission) Regulations thereunder (18 CFR 157.7 and 
157.18), an application for authority required for Reliant to effect 
the abandonment of certain facilities located in Caddo Parish, 
Louisiana.
    Specifically, Reliant proposes to abandon a 1.5 mile segment of 
Line R, two delivery points, and one receipt point. Reliant proposes to 
transfer by sale, at net book value, to Reliant Energy Field Services 
Corp. (REFS) this segment of Line R, an 8-inch lateral line, and 
certain related facilities all as more fully set forth in the 
Application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.us/online/
rims.htm (call 202-208-2222). Reliant seeks determination that once 
conveyed to REFS, these facilities will be gathering facilities exempt 
from the Commission's jurisdiction.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before December 1, 1999, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 385.211 or 385.214) 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 proceedings. 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 
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 a 
grant of the certificate is 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 Reliant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
