Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

April 10, 2000.
    Take notice that on April 3, 2000, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch Gateway), P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas 77521-1478, pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Section 157.18 of the 
Commission's Regulations filed in Docket No. CP00-167-000, an 
abbreviated application for an order permitting and approving the 
abandonment of individually certified transportation service agreements 
on file with the Commission as described herein.
    These individually certified services are no longer required by 
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural) and have been 
terminated by mutual agreement between Koch Gateway and Natural. Koch 
Gateway states this abandonment of service is in the public interest 
and will have no effect on any existing customer, all as more fully set 
forth in the abbreviated application which is on file with the 
Commission and open for public inspection. A contact person for this 
filing is Kyle Stephens, Director of Certificates, Koch Gateway 
Pipeline Company, P.O. Box 1478, Houston, Texas, 77251-1478.
    Any persons desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest with reference to said application should file a 
motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in accordance 
with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214, 385.211). All such petitions or 
protests should be filed on or before April 25, 2000. Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants Applicants at the 
proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a petition 
to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-

    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the 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 on this application if no protest or petition 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 abandonment 
is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a protest or 
petition 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 procedures herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be
