Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on April 9, 1998, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-342-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216(b) of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for approval to abandon by removal a 
measurement facility at a delivery point, under Southern blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Southern states that it constructed the delivery point facility to 
sell and deliver natural gas at the Texas Eastern Meter Station on 
Southern's fourteen-inch Logansport Line in Bienville Parish, Louisiana 
under an agreement between Southern and Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Tetco) dated February 2, 1948. Southern further states 
that the exchange agreement under which service was provided at the 
meter station was abandoned by the parties by Commission order dated 
July 19, 1996 in Docket No. CP96-332-000. Southern asserts that service 
at the meter station has not been active for over ten years. 
Accordingly, Southern proposes to abandon the meter station.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
