Applicants state that they are authorized to exchange natural gas

respectively (Agreement B).
It is indicated that pursuant to Agreement A, Applicants agreed to

Louisiana. It is further indicated that two other exchange points for
Agreement A are in Hidalgo and Colorado Counties, Texas. Applicants
indicate that pursuant to Agreement B, they agreed to exchange gas by
mutual dispatching arrangements in Brooks and Hidalgo Counties, Texas.
It is indicated that Applicants have exchanged termination
agreements for each exchange agreement, dated April 17, 1995, and May
30, 1995, respectively. It is further indicated that no imbalances
exist under the two exchange agreements.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before December 4, 1995,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC

requirement of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

party in any hearing therein must file a petition to intervene in
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
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 on this application
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein,
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission
on its motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provide for, unless otherwise advised,
