    Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation and El Paso Natural Gas 
    Company; Notice of Joint Application
    
    August 28, 1997.
        Take notice that on August 22, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
    Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251 and El Paso 
    Natural Gas Company (El Paso), jointly referred to as Applicants, filed 
    in Docket No. CP97-705-000 a joint application pursuant to Section 7(b) 
    of the Natural Gas Act for an order permitting and approving the 
    abandonment of existing Section 7(c) certificated exchange agreements 
    between Transco and El Paso, under Transco's Rate Schedules X-160 and 
    X-161 and El Paso's Rate Schedules X-46 and X-45, all as more fully set 
    forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        Specifically, the Applicants state that they seek Commission 
    authorization to terminate Transco's Rate Schedules X-160 and X-161 and 
    El Paso's Rate Schedules X-46 and X-45. The Applicants state that 
    Transco and El Paso, by letter dated June 2, 1997, mutually agreed to 
    terminate these services effective as of the date an order is issued 
    approving such terminations.
        The Applicants state that the service provided under the exchange 
    agreements has not been utilized since May, 1991, and that no 
    historical imbalances associated with the subject exchange agreements 
    exist.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before September 18, 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
    
    [[Page 46739]]
    
    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 Transco or El Paso to appear or be 
    represented at the hearing.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
