Take notice that on December 21, 1998, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Company (Panhandle), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, tendered

Panhandle states that it would abandon in place, by sale to Dynegy
Energy Resources, Limited Partnership (Dynegy), approximately 2.882
miles of 4-inch pipeline and related facility. Panhandle states further
that upon abandonment, Dynegy would operate the facilities as part of
its non-jurisdictional gathering system and asks the Commission to find
the facilities to be non-jurisdictional upon abandonment.
Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any
protest with reference to said application should on or before January
19, 1999, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest 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
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission
will be considered by it in determing the appropriate action to be
taken but will not service to make the protestants parties to the
proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protectors provide
copies of their protests to the party or parties directly involved. Any
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
A person obtaining intervenor status will be place on the service
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the
invervenors. An Intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission
order and can petition of court review of any such order. However, an
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have
comments considered, a person, instead, may submit two copies of
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final
order to a federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on is own review of the matter finds
that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are required
by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to
intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Panhandle to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
