Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

February 11, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 6, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-220-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
Natural Gas Act and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations 
for a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing 
Tennessee to construct and operate facilities and to increase the 
certificated design capacity of portions of its system in order to 
provide existing customers with increased access to offshore gas 
supplies, all as more fully described in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 4, 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 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 
the subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Section 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 the Tennessee to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
