Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application 
for Abandonment

December 10, 2004.
    Take notice that on November 30, 2004, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco), tendered for filing an application under 
section 7 of the Natural Gas Act to abandon a portion of the firm 
transportation service provided to Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company 
(Eastern Shore) under Transco's Rate Schedule FT.
    In its application, Transco states that it currently renders for 
Eastern Shore, under that certain service agreement dated February 1, 
1992, firm transportation service under Transco's Rate Schedule FT. 
Transco states that the service agreement sets forth the terms and 
conditions under which Transco provides firm transportation of 2,989 Dt 
of gas per day for Eastern Shore. Transco also states that although the 
firm transportation service is being rendered by Transco pursuant to 
Transco's blanket certificate authorization under Part 284(G) of the 
Commission's regulations, Transco requires specific Section 7(b) 
abandonment authorization (instead of simply abandoning the service 
automatically under section 284.221(d) of the regulations) because the 
subject FT service for Eastern Shore was previously converted from firm 
sales service to firm transportation service under Transco's Rate 
Schedule FT pursuant to Transco's revised Stipulation and Agreement in 
Docket Nos. RP88-68, et al., and that settlement provides that pre-
granted abandonment shall not apply to such conversions (as further 
described in Article IV of the Service Agreement). Transco indicates 
that it is more fully explained in the application, Transco proposes to 
abandon 174 Dt/day of firm transportation service to Eastern Shore.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed in on or before the date as

motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
