[Docket No. CP98-278-000]
Natural Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
March 19, 1998.
Take notice that on March 11, 1998, Natural Gas Pipeline Company
(Natural), 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148, filed in
Docket No. CP98-278-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon by sale to
MidCon Texas Pipeline Operator, Inc. (MidCon Texas), Natural's Clayton
Lateral which consists of approximately 21.7 miles of 16-inch pipeline
lateral, meters ranging in sizes of 2 through 10 inches and side taps
ranging in sizes of 2 through 6 inches, in Duval and Oak Counties,
Texas, for $336,913, as more fully set forth in the application on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Natural states the facilities are no longer needed to receive gas
for system supply and therefore has decided to sell the facilities to
MidCon Texas for net book value.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before April 9, 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 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 Natural to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
