[Docket No. CP98-72-000]


NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 5, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NGT), 525 Milam Street, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 
71151, filed in Docket No. CP98-72-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 18 CFR 157.211) for authorization to 
construct and operate delivery taps and regulators, located in Arkansas 
County, Arkansas, under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. 
CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-001, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    NGT proposes to operate under Subpart G of Part 284 of the 
Commission's Regulations a 1-inch tap and first-cut regulator, 
previously constructed under Section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act 
and Subpart B, Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations. NGT declares 
these facilities, previously constructed in August, 1997, will provide 
gas to ARKLA, a division of NorAm Energy Corporation (ARKLA), on NGT's 
Line TM-10, located in Arkansas County, Arkansas. NGT states the tap 
was 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 construct, own, and operate up to 
sixteen 1-inch delivery taps and first-cut regulators currently being 
negotiated, all 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, 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.

Acting Secretary.
