Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application

July 9, 2003.
    Take notice that on June 26, 2003, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco), filed in Docket No. CP03-73-000 an application, 
in abbreviated form, pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, 
as amended, and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, for an order permitting and approving 
abandonment of a transportation and exchange service provided to The 
Brooklyn Union Gas Company (Brooklyn Union) and Dominion Transmission, 
Inc (DTI) under Transco's Rate Schedule X-99 and a transportation 
service provided to Brooklyn Union, as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    In such application, Transco states that it entered into an 
interruptible transportation and exchange agreement with Brooklyn Union 
and DTI, on July 1, 1975, under which Transco transports gas on an 
interruptible basis for Brooklyn Union, now doing business as KeySpan 
Energy Delivery New York, on an interruptible basis and exchanges gas 
with DTI, successor to Consolidated Gas Supply Corporation, under Rate 
Schedule X-99. Transco further states that it entered into an 
interruptible transportation agreement with Brooklyn Union on February 
14, 1983, under which Transco transports gas, on an interruptible 
basis, for Brooklyn Union under Rate Schedule X-248.
    In the instant application, Transco seeks authorization to abandon 
both the transportation and exchange agreement with Brooklyn Union and 
DTI and the transportation agreement with Brooklyn Union, effective on 
the date of the Commission's order authorizing the abandonments, 
pursuant to Brooklyn Union's and DTI's election to terminate their 
service agreements.
    Transco states that the Primary Term of the service agreement under 
Rate Schedule X-99 ended on September 24, 1976. Transco further states 
that by letter dated January 9, 2001, Brooklyn Union and DTI provided 
Transco sufficient notice to terminate the subject agreement under Rate 
Schedule X-99 as of the date of the Commission's order authorizing the 
abandonment of service. Transco indicates that the Primary Term of the 
service agreement under Rate Schedule X-248 ended on January 21, 1983. 
Transco explains that, by letter dated April 28, 2003, Brooklyn Union 
provided Transco sufficient notice to terminate the subject service 
agreement under Rate Schedule X-248 as of the date of the Commission's 
order authorizing the abandonment of service.
