Texas Eastern proposes to abandon: (i) Compressor station facilities and related appurtenances located in Union County, Illinois, the Lick Compressor Station; (ii) compressor station facilities and related appurtenances located in Gibson County, Indiana, the Oakland

City Compressor Station; and (iii) the electric compressor and related appurtenances at the compressor station in Gregg County, Texas, the

Longview Compressor Station. Texas Eastern states that due to changes over the years in the operation of the Texas Eastern system, the Lick

Creek and Oakland City Compressor Stations and the electric compressor at the Longview Compressor Station are outdated and are not required to satisfy current firm service obligations. Texas Eastern asserts that there will be no termination or reduction in firm service to any existing customers of Texas Eastern as a result of the proposed abandonment of these facilities.

Any questions regarding this application should be directed to

There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene 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). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.

However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.

The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest.

Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process.

Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order.

Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Comment Date: May 8, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,

Secretary.
