Company (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed 
in Docket No. CP09-16-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to abandon by 
sale to HESCO Gathering Company, L.L.C. (HESCO) the Alta Mesa Laterals, 
located in Brooks County, Texas, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number

    Specifically, Tennessee proposes to abandon the Alta Mesa Laterals, 
which are comprised of approximately 15.5 miles of small diameter 
pipelines, which includes (i) Line No. 405A-100, consisting of 10.12 
miles of 6-inch pipeline; (ii) Line No. 405A-400, consisting of 2.63 
miles of 5-inch pipeline; (iii) Line No. 405A-500, consisting of 2.84 
miles of 6-inch pipeline; (iv) two receipt taps, designated as Meter 
Nos. 01-0147 and 01-2051; and (v) various valves and appurtenances 
thereto. Tennessee states that once Tennessee is authorized to abandon 
the facilities and completes the purchase and sale transaction with 
HESCO, the facilities will be owned and operated by HESCO in 
conjunction with its existing gas gathering activities. Tennessee avers 
that the Alta Mesa Laterals are inactive for more than twelve months. 
Tennessee asserts that the proposed abandonment will not affect service 
to any Tennessee shipper.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to

1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, at (713) 420-4544 or (713)

notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
