Take notice that on September 26, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline
Company (Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed
in Docket No. CP97-776-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon eleven delivery taps
in Hancock, Harrison and Jackson Counties, Mississippi, under Koch
Gateway's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430, pursuant
to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Koch Gateway requests authorization to abandon eleven (11) farm
taps on its Index 276 transmission pipeline in Hancock, Harrison and
Jackson Counties Mississippi. Koch Gateway states that it is taking
steps to implement the order issued on June 21, 1994 in FERC Docket No.
CP94-76-000 to abandon by sale to Koch Pipeline, Inc., a subsidiary of
Koch Industries, Inc., its Index 276 transmission pipeline. In its
application for abandonment Koch Gateway indicated that is would make
prior notice filings to abandon existing delivery taps on the Index 276
and that this instant filing is one of those filings.
Koch Gateway proposes to plug each tap and remove all valves and
above-ground appurtenances at the various locations. Koch Gateway
states that these farm taps were originally certificated in FPC Docket
No. G-232, and that the taps are inactive and no services will be
affected by the proposed abandonment. Koch Gateway states that Entex,
Inc. (Entex), the local distribution company through which these farm
tap services were previously provided, has removed its metering
facilities at each farm tap location, and that Entex has agreed to the
proposed abandonment.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant 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 and pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor,
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for filing a 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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 Natural Gas Act.

Acting Secretary.
