October 8, 2004.
    Take notice that El Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso), Post Office 
Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No. CP04-
423-000 on September 29, 2004, an application pursuant to section 7(b) 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the Commission's Regulations, for 
authorization to abandon in place and by removal, certain pipeline 
facilities, with appurtenances, located in Eddy County, New Mexico, and 
Culberson and Hudspeth Counties, Texas, that are no longer required in 
the operation of El Paso's interstate transmission system. 
Specifically, El Paso proposes to abandon approximately 87.7 miles of 
its Jal-El Paso ``A'' Line and 79.1 miles of its Jal-El Paso ``B'' Line 
(referred to as Line Nos. 1000 and 1001), all as more fully set forth 
in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. This filing may be also viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, call (202) 502-8659 or TTY, (202) 208-
3676.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Robert T. Tomlinson, Director, Regulatory Affairs, El Paso Natural Gas 
Company, P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, at (719) 520-
3788 or fax (719) 520-4318.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. Unless 
filing electronically, a party must submit 14 copies of any paper 
filing made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant 
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the 
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the 
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    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 the ``e-Filing'' 
link.
    Comment Date: October 29, 2004.

Magalie R. Salas,
 Secretary.
