Michigan Gas Storage Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 11, 1995.
    Take notice that on December 4, 1995, Michigan Gas Storage Company 
(MGSCo), 212 West Michigan Avenue, Jackson, Michigan 49201, filed a 
prior notice request with the Commission in Docket No. CP96-96-000 
pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to abandon by sale to Consumers 
Power Company (Consumers) approximately 18 miles of 8-inch diameter 
pipe, under MGSCo's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP84-451-
000 pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in 
the request which is open to the public for inspection.
    MGSCo proposes to abandon by sale approximately 18 miles of 8-inch 
diameter pipe (Line 200) in Isabella and Midland Counties, Michigan. 
MGSCo would sell all of the properties, rights-of-way, and facilities 
associated with the above described pipeline to Consumers at the net 
book value of $1,500. MGSCo also states that it would continue to serve 
Consumers in the area via the Mt. Pleasant Station and the Midland City 
Gate, which would relieve MGSCo of the obligation to operate and 
maintain the pipeline facilities without a reduction in service to 
Consumers. MGSCo further states that Consumers would also have the 
flexibility to use the pipeline facilities as a high pressure line or 
as a low pressure distribution line for serving customers in the 
developing bi-county area.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 Sec. 157.205 of the Regulations 
under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest 
is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 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 NGA.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
