duck club has converted to electricity

and no longer requires natural gas

service. Koch Gateway describes the tap

as a farm tap, originally certificated in

FPC Docket No. G–232, and located on

Koch Gateway’s transmission pipeline

designated as Index 276. Koch Gateway

has included in the filing a copy of a

facsimile communication from LGS

indicating that it has no objection to the

proposed abandonment. Koch Gateway

indicates that the Louisiana Public

Service Commission has been notified

of this filing.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

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protest is filed and not withdrawn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

shall be treated as an application for

facilities, previously constructed in

August, 1997, will provide gas to

ARKLA, a division of NorAm Energy

constructed at a cost of approximately

$2,556 and ARKLA will reimburse NGT

$1,750 of this cost. NGT submits the

estimated volumes to be delivered

through these facilities are 1,000 Dth

annually and 100 Dth on a peak day.

In addition, NGT proposes to

to serve ARKLA, on NGT’s Line TM–10,

located in Arkansas County, Arkansas,

at a cost of $2,556, with ARKLA

reimbursing NGT $1,750 of this cost.

NGT states that for each of these

proposed taps ARKLA will construct, at

its own cost, and donate to NGT, either

a 1-inch or 2-inch meter station, and

NGT will construct and install the 1-

inch tap and first-cut regulator. NGT

asserts they will own and operate all of

the facilities. NGT declares the

estimated annual and peak day volumes

for each tap ranges from 1,000 to 6,000

Dth and 50 to 200 Dth, respectively.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section
