Take notice that on November 25, 1996, CNG Transmission Corporation
(CNGT), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in
Docket No. CP97-124-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon in place 2,640
feet of 16-inch pipeline, known as Line H-45, located in Doddridge

\1\ See Hope Natural Gas Company, 3 FPC 994 (1943).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CNGT proposes to abandon by retirement a portion of Line H-45
totaling 2,640 feet in length due to age. CNGT states that the line was
constructed in 1912 and is no longer needed for service; natural gas
production from wells which used this line has been rerouted to other
gathering lines. CNGT states that no producer, shipper or consumer will
be affected by the retirement of the subject line.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before December 24, 1996,
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 a 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 or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be

unnecessary for CNGT to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Sectetary.
