NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

May 11, 1998.

Take notice that on May 1, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77210-4455, filedin Docket No. CP98-448-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to abandon certain facilities in Texas, under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 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 that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

NGT specifically proposes to abandon and reclaim a 1-inch, inactive, domestic tap on Line CM-14 in Bowie County, Texas that delivered gas to Arkla, a distribution division on NorAm Energy Corp. for supplementary service to Hooks County School District. Arkla has notified NGT that it no longer needs this tap and that the school has requested that the tap be removed to allow cleanup on the location. NGT will reclaim the tap at an estimated cost of $579 and Arkla will reimburse NGT for $464 of this cost.

NGT states that the proposed abandonment is not prohibited by its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed changes without detriment or disadvantage to NGT's other customers. No service will be abandoned as a result of removing this tap.

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 failed 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary.
