[Docket No. CP00-450-000]


Reliant Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application

September 11, 2000.
    Take notice that on August 30, 2000, Reliant Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (REGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77210, 
filed an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA), as amended, and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (the Commission) Regulations (18 CFR 157.7 and 157.18), 
for any and all abandonment authority required for REGT to effect the 
sale and transfer to Reliant Energy Field Services Inc. (REFS) of its 
Savannah compressor station located in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. In 
addition, REGT seeks a determination that once conveyed, this facility 
will be a gathering facility exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction 
pursuant to NGA Section 1(b), all as more fully set forth in the 
Application on file with the Commission and open to pubic inspection. 
The application may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm (Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    Any questions regarding the application may be directed to: 
Lawrence O. Thomas, Director-Financial Analysis, Reliant Energy Gas 
Transmission Company, PO Box 21734, Shreveport, LA 71151, (318) 429-
2804.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before October 2, 2000, 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 385.211 and 385.214) 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 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.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, Commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court. The Commission will consider all comments and 
concerns equally, whether filed by commenters or those requesting 
intervener status.
    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 herein or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate for the proposed abandonment is 
required by the public convenience and necessity. If the Commission 
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 REGT to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
