required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate and/or 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.

hearing.

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

protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
[[Page 32523]] authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas
