the United States and Mexico in Hidalgo County, Texas for purposes of 
importing natural gas into the United States from Mexico and exporting 
gas from the United States to Mexico. The proposed facilities will 
consist of about 1,375 feet of 24-inch pipe and will connect existing 
and new natural gas pipeline facilities owned, or to be owned, by Pemex 
Gas y Petroquimica Basica in Mexico with about 97 miles of new 
intrastate pipeline that will extend from the International Boundary in 
Hidalgo County northward to Kleburg County, Texas. The proposed 
facilities will have a design capacity of about 300,000 MMcf/d.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 19, 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 385.211 or 385.214, and the Commission's 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 of Practice and 
Procedure.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 3 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 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 Coral Mexico to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
