Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 189 / Tuesday, September 30, 1997 / Notices 51097

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Specifically, NGT proposes to

construct and operate a 2-inch delivery

tap and first-cut regulator to serve

ARKLA. NGT says the tap will be

installed on its Line 2–AD in Section 36,

Township 5 North, Range 9 East,

Hughes County, Oklahoma. NGT

indicates that ARKLA will install the

domestic meter setting. NGT relates that

the estimated volumes to be delivered to

this tap are approximately 160 MMBtu

annually and 1 MMBtu on a peak day.

NGT states that the tap and first-cut

regulator are to be constructed at an

estimated cost of $2,600.00 and that

ARKLA will reimburse NGT the cost of

construction.

NGT states that it will transport gas to

ARKLA and provide service under its

tariff; that the volumes delivered are

within ARKLA’s certificated

entitlement; and that NGT’s tariff does

not prohibit the addition of new

delivery points. NGT says it has

sufficient capacity to accomplish the

deliveries without detriment or

disadvantage to its other customers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn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.
