El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

February 7, 1997.

Take notice that on February 4, 1997,

El Paso Natural (El Paso), Post Office

Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed a

request with the Commission in Docket

No. CP97–227–000, pursuant to

Sections 157.205, and 157.216(b) of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization

to abandon certain miscellaneous tap

and meter facilities and the service

rendered by means thereof authorized in

blanket certificate issued in Docket No.

CP82–435–000, all as more fully set

forth in the request on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

El Paso proposes to abandon 34

miscellaneous facilities, with associated

appurtenances and related natural gas

service rendered by such facilities. The

facilities consist of 32 taps and two

meter stations, and were required by El

Paso to facilitate, generally, the delivery

and/or measurement and sale of natural

gas from its interstate transmission

pipeline system to certain customers for

resale. El Paso states that they would

remove such facilities and place in stock

the salvable materials and scrap the

nonsalvable items, without material

change in its average cost-of-service. El

Paso also states that they have examined

the abandonment action proposed and

anticipates no adverse environmental

effects of each action that might be

incurred, and should any occur, they

would be minor and of a temporary

nature.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after the

Commission has issued this notice, 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

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

allowed time, 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after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 NGA.

Secretary.
