Specifically, Koch Gateway (formerly known as United Gas Pipe Line Company) requests authorization to abandon several obsolete transportation agreements under Rate Schedules X-093, X-123, X-126, X- 130, X-133, X-134 and X-144 which were certificated in Docket Nos. CP77-589, CP-79-429, CP80-018, CP80-077, CP80-402, CP79-429 and CP81- 278, respectively. Koch Gateway states that the individually certificated services are no longer required by Mid Louisiana and have been terminated. Koch Gateway also states that Mid Louisiana concurs with the proposed abandonment and that no facilities are proposed to be abandoned. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before June 9, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 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 NGA (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 NGA 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 Koch Gateway to appear or be represented at the hearing. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary.
