[Docket No. CP98-571-000]


ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

June 8, 1998.
    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.
