Blanket Authorization

March 14, 1997.

Take notice that on March 6, 1997,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America (Natural), 701 East 22nd Street,

Lombard, Illinois 60148, filed in Docket

No. CP97–277–000, a request pursuant

to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205

and 157.212) for authorization to

provide NGA jurisdictional service,

including transportation pursuant to

Subpart G of Part 284 of the

Commission Regulations 1 through an

existing delivery point to an end-user of

natural gas, under the blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP–82–402–000,

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Specifically, Natural requests

authorization to operate an existing dual

inch meter facility to deliver gas to

Acme Brick Company, and end-user of

natural gas in Hot Spring County,

Arkansas. Natural explains that these
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 54 / Thursday, March 20, 1997 / Notices 13375

facilities were constructed for the

purpose of transportation pursuant to

Section 311(a)(1) of the Natural Gas

Policy Act (NGPA) and Subpart B of

Part 284 of the Commission’s

Regulations and were available for

service on December 31, 1996. Natural

provide the requested service through

these facilities without detriment or

disadvantage to Natural’s peak day and

annual delivery capability. Natural

states that the total volume of gas to be

delivered after the facilities are

authorized to provide NGA

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protest is filed and not withdrawn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 National Gas Act.

Secretary.
