Take notice that on May 29, 1998, as clarified on June 4, 1998, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed in Docket No. CP98-571-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Commission's Regulations to abandon a firm natural gas transportation service for Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas) performed under ANR's Rate Schedule X-63, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. ANR states that the transportation service was originally authorized by the Commission in an order issued January 13, 1977 in Docket No. CP75-125-000, and involved the transportation by ANR on a firm basis of up to 196,640 Mcf per day from West Cameron Area Block 167 in offshore Louisiana, to a point of interconnection with Texas Gas' pipeline facilities in Acadia Parish, Louisiana and/or up to 100,000 Mcf per day to an interconnection with Texas Gas at Cameron Parish, Louisiana. No facilities are proposed to be abandoned, and ANR requests an effective date of June 15, 1998 for the abandonment authorization. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before June 29, [[Page 32195]] 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 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. Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will be unnecessary for ANR to appear or be represented at the hearing. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
