Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

December 10, 1999.
    Take notice that on December 1, 1999, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), a Delaware corporation, P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 
77251-1478, filed in Docket No. CP00-39-000, an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Section 157.18 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Regulations for 
permission and approval to abandon by sale an undivided interest in 
certain pipeline facilities located in Mobile County, Alabama, 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.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 
for assistance.
    Specifically, Koch Gateway requests authorization to abandon by 
sale to Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) an undivided interest in 
Koch Gateway's Mobile Bay Lateral such that FGT acquires an ownership 
interest giving FGT the right to 300,000 Dth per day of capacity. This 
application is made in conjunction with an application by FGT in Docket 
No. CP00-40-000 for a significant expansion of its system (Phase V 
Expansion). Koch Gateway states that it believes no existing customer 
will be affected by the proposed abandonment.
    If there are any further questions regarding this project, the 
following individual may be contacted: Kyle Stephens, Director of 
Certificates, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company, P.O. Box 1478, Houston, 
Texas 77251-1478, at (713) 544-7309.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before December 30, 1999, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C., 20426, a protest or motion to intervene in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214) 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 
proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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 document if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval of the proposed abandonment 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 Koch Gateway to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
