    Take notice that on November 23, 1998, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(El Paso), P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed in Docket No. 
CP99-88-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    El Paso proposes to abandon 24 miscellaneous taps, with associated 
appurtenances and the related natural gas service rendered by means of 
such facilities. The facilities are located in New Mexico. These 
facilities were required by El Paso to facilitate, generally, the 
delivery and/or measurement and sale of natural gas from its interstate 
transmission pipeline system to PNM Gas Service, a division of Public 
Service Company of New Mexico, for resale. El Paso states that the 
abandonments will not result in or cause any interruption, reduction or 
termination of natural gas service presently rendered by El Paso to any 
of its customers.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Secretary.
