DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP94-578-000]

 

NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Application

June 3, 1994.
    Take notice that on June 1, 1994, NorAm Gas Transmission Company 
(NGT), a subsidiary of NorAm Energy Corporation, whose main office is 
located at 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed an 
abbreviated 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 
(formerly Arkla Energy Resources Company) to abandon an existing 
transportation and exchange transaction with Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company. NGT's proposal is more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    This transaction provided for Tennessee to receive for the account 
of NGT certain quantities of gas produced in Mississippi Canyon Block 
148, Offshore Louisiana, and to transport such quantities to NGT at 
various points of delivery.
    This transportation and exchange service was previously 
certificated on November 15, 1994, under Docket No. CP84-248-000 (29 
FERC 61,184) and, according to NGT and Tennessee, has been inactive, 
is no longer necessary and has been terminated by the written consent 
of both parties. No facilities will be abandoned as a result of the 
abandonment of this service. As such, certificate authorization is no 
longer necessary.
    NGT states that, although the contract between Tennessee and NGT 
was filed by Tennessee as part of Tennessee's tariffs, due to 
administrative oversight the contract was never included in NGT's 
tariffs.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 24, 1994, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 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 filed with 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 filed within 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 necessary for NGT to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
