    Take notice that on December 11, 1997, Koch Gateway Pipeline 
Company (Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-126-000, a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 
157.216(b) for approval to abandon an inactive 2-inch delivery tap and 
meter station and 2-inch delivery lateral, under the blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 
of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Koch Gateway proposes to abandon by removal an inactive 2-inch tap 
and meter station and to abandon in place approximately 150 feet of 2-
inch delivery lateral that formerly served the Shelbyville city gate on 
behalf of Entex Inc. (Entex), a local distribution company, in Shelby

its customers from its existing distribution system. It is further 
stated that service to the end-users would not be affected. Koch

proposed abandonment. Koch Gateway states that Entex has not used this 
point since 1988. Koch Gateway further states that it would plug and 
remove the tap, remove all above ground facilities and after cleaning 
the pipe and filling it with either water or nitrogen, would abandon 
the lateral in place.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
