Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company and Natural Gas Pipeline Company 
of America; Notice of Application To Abandon

June 15, 1999.
    Take notice that on June 9, 1999, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 
77252-2511 and Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural), 747 
East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148 (referred to Collectively as 
Applicants) filed under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for 
authority to abandon, a certificated gas exchange service. The exchange 
service has been provided under Tennessee's Rate schedule X-53 in its 
FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2 and Natural's Rate Schedule X-77 
in its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 2. Applicants state 
that they no longer need the service and have both consented to its 
abandonment. The proposal is more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
This filing may also be viewed on the Internet at http://www.ferc.us/
online/rims.htm. (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before July 6, 1999, 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds 
that permission and approval of 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 the Applicants to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
