[Docket No. CP01-400-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application

Issued July 23, 2001.
    Take notice that on July 12, 2001, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Applicant), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas, 77251, filed in 
Docket No. CP01-400-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon the 
transportation of natural gas provided under Transco's Rate Schedules 
X-158 and X-253 for Southern Natural Gas Company (Southern). Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed at the Commission's web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket #'' and 
follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Applicant states that it has not transported gas pursuant to Rate 
Schedule X-158 since 1989 and Rate Schedule X-253 since 1994. Applicant 
asserts that it does not propose to abandon any facility pursuant to 
the authorization sought herein and that no service to any of its 
customers will be affected by the abandonment authorization requested 
herein. Further, Applicant asserts there is no outstanding imbalance 
due any party. By letter signed December 6, 2000 Southern has consented 
to the proposed abandonment.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this application 
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, on or before August 10, 
2001, in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211). All protests filed 
with the Commission will be considered by the Commission 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 the proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a petition to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules. Comments, 
protests, and interventions may be filed electronically via the 
Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's web site under ``e-Filing'' link.
    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 on this application if no petition to intervene 
is filed within the time required herein. At that time, the Commission, 
on its own review of the matter will determine whether granting the 
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission 
on its 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 Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
