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 protest or motion 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 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 Northern or Gulf South to appear or be 
represented at the hearing.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
