Commission

[Docket No. CP98–79–000]

NorAm Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

November 19, 1997.

Take notice that on November 12,

1997, NorAm Gas Transmission

Company (NorAm), 1600 Smith Street,

Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket

No. CP98–79–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and

157.216) for permission and approval to

abandon a portion of NorAm’s Line 2–

T located in Roger Mills County,

Oklahoma, and a portion of its Line 5

located in Grant and Kay Counties,

Oklahoma. NorAm makes such request

under its blanket certificate issued in

Docket Nos. CP82–384–000 and CP82–

384–001 pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

forth in the request on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

NorAm proposes to abandon segments

of two lines that it acquired as part of

its merger with Consolidated Gas

Utilities Corporation,1 because the

expected revenue recovery does not

justify the expenditure to relocate those

line segments. It is stated that both lines

serve ARKLA, a division of NorAm

Energy Corporation.

Line 2–T is comprised of 59,277 feet

of 3-inch line. NorAm is proposing to

abandon 53,764 feet of Line 2–T, along

with nine active and six inactive rural

domestic taps. It is stated that the

remaining 5,513 feet of Line 2–T will

continue to serve ARKLA’s Cheyenne

town border station without

interruption. NorAm avers that planned

construction by the Oklahoma

Department of Transportation, dictates

that the above mentioned facilities be

abandoned or moved from the public

right-of-way.

Line 5 is comprised of 115,838 feet of

8-inch to 12-inch line. NorAm is

proposing herein to abandon a 43,824

foot 8-inch segment of Line 5, along

with 19 active and one inactive rural

domestic tap. NorAm indicates that this

segment of Line 5, is likewise located on

a county right-of-way.

NorAm estimates it would cost

$327,000 to relocate that segment of

Line 2–T, indicating that segment of

Line 2–T generates an annual revenue of

approximately $200. NorAm further

indicates that the subject segment of

Line 5, has an estimated yearly lost and

unaccounted for gas cost of $62,740—

compared to the approximate $583 of

annual revenue that is generated by that

segment of Line 5.

NorAm states that it has paid to

convert each active customer to an

alternate source of fuel.

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.

Secretary.
