    Take notice that on October 6, 2000, Gulf South Pipeline Company,

both located at 20 East Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas, 77046, filed in 
the above docket, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) and 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act to permit Koch, as a result of its change in 
corporate form from a corporation to a limited partnership, to abandon 
its jurisdictional assets and services and Gulf South to acquire these 
same jurisdictional assets and services, all as more fully set forth in

inspection. The application may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc/fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Koch states that as a result of this conversion, its corporate name

continue to own and operate Koch's facilities pursuant to the same 
rates, terms and conditions previously approved by the Commission. The 
Applicants state that the authorizations requested in the application 
are required by the present and future public convenience and necessity 
and will not adversely affect Koch's customers or the services they 
receive on the pipeline as all rates and services will remain 
unchanged. The Applicants state that they request the Commission to 
grant the requested amendment to Koch's existing certificate of public 
convenience and necessity on an expedited basis, no later than November 
15, 2000 which will be the first day of operation after the 
jurisdictional assets are conveyed to Gulf South. It is stated that any 
questions regarding the application should be directed to Michael E.
