Southern Natural Gas Company, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation; 
Notice of Application To Abandon

December 4, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 2, 1998, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama, 35202-2563, and Texas 
Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas), P.O. Box 20008, Owensboro, 
Kentucky 42304 (jointly referred to as Applicants) filed under Section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon, an interruptible 
transportation service which Applicants provided for Mississippi Valley 
Gas Company (MVG). The service was provided under Southern's Rate 
Schedule X-42 and Texas Gas' Rate Schedule X-76, all as more fully set 
forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Applicants state that this transportation service is no longer 
needed and has been terminated by mutual agreement between Applicants 
and MVG.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before December 28, 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, 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 Applicants to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
