Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

May 21, 1998.
    Take notice that on May 15, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251-1478, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-556-000 on abbreviated application pursuant to Section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for authorization and approval to abandon 
an obsolete natural gas transportation service for SCM Corporation 
(SCM) performed under its Rate Schedule X-169 which was authorized in 
Docket No. CP85-465, all as more fully set forth in the application on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Koch Gateway states that abandonment is being proposed because 
there has not been any service provided under the agreement for a 
number of years and that the parties have mutually agreed to 
termination. No imbalances exist. No facilities are proposed to be 
abandoned and that service obligations to its remaining customers will 
not be

impaired after abandonment authorization. This service is no longer 
required by SCM.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 11, 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 Koch Gateway to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
