April 8, 1998.

Take notice that on March 31, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NorAm Gas), Post Office Box 4455, Houston, Texas 77210-4455, filedin Docket No. CP98-316-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate a point of delivery to effectuate firm transportation service to Macsteel Division of Quanex Corporation (Macsteel's) plant in Sebastian County, Arkansas, at an estimated cost of $51,817. NorAm Gas 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.
