Take notice that on August 6, 1997, El

Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso),

P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978,

request pursuant to Sections 157.205

and 157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for

authorization to upgrade the existing

CP82–435–000, pursuant to Section 7(c)

senior orifice meter and modifying the

existing EFM for dual run capability. El

Paso states the upgraded metering

facilities, upon completion, will have a

maximum peak day capacity of 1,800

Mcf of natural gas. El Paso asserts that

it has sufficient mainline peak day

capacity to transport and deliver such

gas volumes without detriment or

disadvantage to El Paso’s other

customers.

El Paso states that Deming will

reimburse them for the costs related to

the upgrade of the Deming Industrial

Park Meter Station, estimated to be

$17,300, including respective overhead

and contingency fees.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.
