Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application 
for Abandonment

June 16, 2005.
    Take notice that on May 27, 2005, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing an application under Section 
7 of the Natural Gas Act to abandon the firm transportation service 
provided to Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore) under 
Transco's Rate Schedule FT.
    Transco states that it currently renders for Eastern Shore, under a 
service agreement dated February 1, 1992, firm transportation service 
under Transco' s Rate Schedule FT. Transco explains that service 
agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Transco 
provides firm transportation of 2,815 Dt of gas per day for Eastern 
Shore. 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 states that it 
requires specific Section 7(b) abandonment authorization (instead of 
simply abandoning the service automatically under Section 284.221(d) of 
the regulations) because: (1) 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 (2) the 
settlement provides that pre-granted abandonment shall not apply to 
such conversions (as further described in Article IV of the Service 
Agreement). As is more fully explained in the application, Transco 
proposes to abandon the 2,815 Dt/day of firm transportation service to 
Eastern Shore to allow Eastern Shore to effectuate a prearranged 
permanent release of that capacity.
    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 accordance with the provisions of 
Section 154.210 of the Commission's regulations (18 CFR 154.210). 
Anyone filing an intervention or protest must serve a copy of that 
document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on 
or before the intervention or protest date need not serve motions to 
intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
