[Docket No. CP97-677-000]
Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application
August 6, 1997.
Take notice that on July 31, 1997, Texas Eastern Transmission
Corporation (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas
77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP97-677-000 an application pursuant to
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to
abandon by sale to CCNG Gas Gathering, L.P. (CCNG), approximately 23.72
miles of 3,4,6, and 8-inch pipelines, two measuring stations, and
appurtenances (collectively referred to as ``Facilities'' located in
San Patricio and Arkansas counties, Texas, for an estimated sale price
of $215,000, as more fully set forth in the application on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Texas Eastern states that the natural gas reserves attached to the
Facilities are depleting, throughput on the Facilities is minimal, and
that it does not anticipate making any extensions to connect additional
natural gas supplies to the Facilities in the foreseeable future as its
reason for selling the Facilities to CCNG. Texas Eastern has been
advised by CCNG that CCNG intends to integrate the Facilities into its
gathering system to improve operational efficiency.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before August 27, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 Texas Eastern to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
