[Docket No. CP00-170-000]


Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

April 21, 2000.
    Take notice that on April 10, 2000, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and the rules and 
regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), 
filed in Docket No. CP00-170-000 an application seeking abandonment 
authority to convert the transportation storage services it renders 
under its STS-1 and ST-1 Rate Schedules on behalf of the City of 
LaGrange, Georgia and Albany Water, Gas and Light Commission, effective 
as of October 1, 2000, from a Part 157 certificated service to a Part 
284 seasonal service. In addition, Southern seeks pre-granted 
abandonment authority under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act to convert 
the transportation storage services it renders under its STS-1 and ST-2 
Rate Schedules on behalf of Atlanta Gas Light Company (AGLC) from a 
Part 157 certificated service to a Part 284 seasonal service, upon 
notification from AGLC or a Certificated Marketer to which it has 
assigned such service effective on October 1, 2001, October 1, 2002, or 
October 1, 2003, with all such services to be converted no later than 
October 1, 2004. This proposal is part of an overall settlement 
proposal filed by Southern on March 10, 2000, in Docket Nos. RP99-496-
000 and RP99-496-001 to resolve all outstanding issues in Southern's 
Section 4 rate proceeding.
    Any persons desiring to participate in the hearing process or make 
any to protest with reference to said application should file a motion 
to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in accordance 
with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, (18 CFR 385.214, 385.211). All such petitions or 
protests should be filed on or before May 1, 2000. Protests filed with 
the Commission will be considered in determining the appropriate action 
to be taken but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the commission's rules. Copies of this 
filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the 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, if the 
Commission on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the 
abandonment and amendment of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a protest or 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 procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Southern to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
