NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Amended Application

July 10, 1998.

Take notice that on July 1, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NGT), a subsidiary of NorAm Energy Corporation, whose main office is located at 111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77210-4455, filedin the referenced docket an amended application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended and Part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Regulations thereunder (18 CFR 157.7 and 157.18), requesting issuance of a Commission order authorizing NGT to effect the sale and transfer to NorAm Field Services Corporation (NFS) of Line 0-577 and equipment appurtenant thereto, located in Haskell County, Oklahoma and all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

NGT seeks a determination that once conveyed, these facilities will be gathering facilities exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction.

Specifically, NGT proposes to abandon and transfer to NFS Line 0- 577, a gas supply line that was inadvertently omitted from the original application filedMay 12, 1997. Line 0-577 is 10.39 miles of 6-inch diameter pipe that operates at a pressure of 150 psig and carries undehydrated gas. NGT proposes to sell these facilities to NFS for the net book value of the assets at the time of closing, which at this time is estimated to be $339,450.15.

Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before July 27, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filedwith the Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on this application if no motion to intervene is filedwithin the time required herein or if the Commission on its own review of the matter, finds that a grant of the certificate for the proposal is required by the public convenience and necessity. If the Commission believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will be unnecessary for NGT to appear or be represented at the hearing. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary.
