Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

June 16, 1999.
    Take notice that on June 10, 1999, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 
77002, filed in Docket No. CP99-551-000, an application pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing Tennessee 
to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for 
Tennessee's existing La Gloria Line, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.us.online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Tennessee proposes to increase the MAOP of its 2.4 mile, 4-inch 
diameter Line No. 403A-100 pipeline (referred to as the La Gloria Line) 
in Brooks County, Texas, from 765 psig to 891 psig. Tennessee indicates 
that the proposed MAOP increase will allow Tennessee to consistently 
deliver natural gas supplies received on the La Gloria Line into its 
mainline pipeline system. Tennessee further states that the uprate 
procedures require no construction.
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 7, 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. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide 
copies of their protests to the party or person to whom the protests 
are directed. 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.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file 
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review 
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments 
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other 
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14 
copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    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 NGA 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 a 
grant of the certificate is 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
