    Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Notice of Application
    
    November 24, 1998.
        Take notice that on November 17, 1998, Natural Gas Pipeline Company 
    of America (Natural), 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois, 60148, 
    filed in Docket No. CP99-81-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) 
    of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon, by sale 
    to Stingray Pipeline Company (Stingray) a dual 4-inch platform 
    measuring facility located in East Cameron Block 286, offshore 
    Louisiana (EC 286), all as more fully set forth in the application on 
    file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
        Natural states that the facilities were originally constructed to 
    allow Natural to measure system supply gas that it had purchased in EC 
    286, which gas Stingray had received for Natural's account and 
    transported and redelivered to Natural onshore at Holly Beach in 
    Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Natural states that its gas purchase and 
    transportation agreements related to these facilities have been 
    terminated and that currently the facilities are used to measure gas 
    that stingray receives and transports onshore for the accounts of 
    Stingray's shippers. Moreover, Natural states that said facilities no 
    longer hold sufficient value to Natural to warrant the expenditures 
    required to maintain them as a result, Natural intends to sell said 
    facilities to Stingray.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before December 15, 1998, 
    file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
    N.E., 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 determining the appropriate action to be 
    taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
    proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to the proceeding or 
    to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion 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 motion 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 
    motion 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, 
    it will be unnecessary for Natural to appear or be represented at the 
    hearing.
    Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
    Acting Secretary.
