Florida Gas Transmission Company and Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

September 9, 1998.

Take notice that on August 28, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, and Southern Natural Gas Company (Southern) 1900 Fifth Avenue North, Birmingham, Alabama 35303, (jointly referred to as Applicants) filedin Docket No. CP98-752-000 a joint application with the Commission, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Regulations for permission and approval to abandon an exchange service and to abandon and remove a measurement station, all as more fully set forth in the petition to amend which is open to public inspection.

Applicants state that they exchange gas at existing points of interconnection between their facilities in Escambia County, Alabama and Washington Parish, Louisiana. The exchange was a ``no fee'' exchange and gas deliveries were made on an equivalent Btu gas for gas exchange.

Applicants state that their jointly owned 3.2-mile line in Escambia County, Alabama, which has gas flowing, has such gas measured at the discharge side of Exxon Corporation's gas treatment plant and at a station located on FGT's 30-inch line. Because of costly repairs, Applicants agreed that such stations are not required (in view of the three miles which separates them) and therefore propose to abandon such.

Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before September 30, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 filedwith 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 filedwithin 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

[[Page 49346]]

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 Applicants to appear or be represented at the hearing. David P. Boergers, Secretary.
