    Take notice that on March 16, 2004, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El

abandon the firm transportation service provided to North Bailey Gas 
Farmers' Cooperative Society of Muleshoe, Texas (North Bailey) under 
the Transportation Service Agreement (TSA) dated September 1, 1992, 
between El Paso and North Bailey.
    In its application, El Paso states that by letter dated December

Paso notification of its intention to terminate its TSA with El Paso. 
Consistent with the termination provisions of the TSA, El Paso 
acknowledged and concurred with North Bailey's request to terminate the 
TSA and notified North Bailey that upon securing the necessary 
authorization from the Commission, El Paso would terminate the 
aforementioned TSA. Accordingly, El Paso is seeking Commission 
permission and approval to abandon the firm transportation service 
provided to North Bailey.
