Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 19, 1996, Southern Natural Gas 
Company (Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, 
filed in Docket No. CP96-802-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon its Georgia-
Pacific Meter Station and the Allison Lumber Company Line in Sumter 
County, Alabama under Southern's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP82-406-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as 
more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Southern proposes to abandon its Georgia-Pacific Meter Station and 
the Allison Lumber Company Line used previously to provide gas service 
to Georgia-Pacific Corporation (Georgia Pacific) at its plant located 
in Sumter County Alabama. In 1988, Georgia Pacific informed Southern of 
its intent to cancel its gas sales contract, and on March 17, 1989, the 
meter station was isolated and taken out of service. Southern has not 
provided service to Georgia Pacific since that time.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 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 activity 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
