Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application

April 1, 2003.
    Take notice that on March 27, 2003, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco), filed in Docket No. CP03-73-000 an application, 
in abbreviated form, pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, 
as amended, and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, for an order permitting and approving 
abandonment of certain firm sales service provided to Piedmont Natural 
Gas Company (Piedmont) under Transco's Rate Schedule FS, as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    In such application, Transco states that it entered into a firm 
sales agreement with United Cities Gas Company, South Carolina 
Division, on August 1, 1991, under which Transco sells gas to Piedmont, 
successor to United Cities Gas Company, under Rate Schedule FS, with 
Buyer's Daily Sales Entitlement amount listed on Exhibit ``A'' to the 
agreement (FS Agreement).
    In accordance with Paragraph 1 of Article IV of the FS Agreement, 
Transco delivers gas to Piedmont at various upstream points of 
delivery. Transco acts as agent for Piedmont for the purpose of 
arranging for the transportation of gas purchased from the points of 
delivery to the points of redelivery identified in the FS Agreement.
    In the instant application, Transco seeks authorization to abandon 
the FS Agreement to Piedmont, effective April 1, 2004, pursuant to 
Piedmont's election to terminate its FS Agreement.
    Transco states that the Primary Term of the FS Agreement ended on 
March 31, 2001. By letter dated March 6, 2002, Piedmont provided 
Transco with a two-year notice to terminate the subject FS Agreement as 
of April 1, 2004.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing 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 385.314 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions and protests must be filed on or 
before the comment date. Protests will be considered by the Commission 
in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve
