    Take notice that on June 16, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77251 filed a request pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations to abandon an obsolete natural gas transportation service 
authorized in Docket No. CP78-494 \1\ for Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia Gas). The application is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See, 5 FERC para. 61,173 (1978).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Koch proposes to abandon an obsolete transportation service 
formally provided to Columbia Gas pursuant to Koch's Rate Schedule X-
111. Koch states that Columbia Gas concurs with the proposed 
abandonment and that no facilities are proposed to be abandoned.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 14, 1998, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) 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 any proceeding 
herein 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 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 no motion for leave to intervene is 
timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that 
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 to appear or to be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
