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.
