1. NorAm Gas Transmission Company

[Docket No. CP95-68-000]

    Take notice that on November 10, 1994, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NorAm), 525 Milam Street, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, 
Louisiana 71151, filed in Docket No. CP95-68-000 a request pursuant to 
Secs. 157.205, 157.211(a)(2), and 157.216(b) of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.208(b), and 
157.216(b)) for authorization to abandon a 1-inch meter station and 
regulator at pipeline station no. 18+66, on Line AT-12, in Wood County, 
Texas and to construct and install a 2-inch meter station and regulator 
at the same location to deliver gas to Arkla's Rural Extension No. 509 
serving the Winnsboro, Texas Townborder Station, under the blanket 
certificate issued and amended in Docket Nos. CP82-384-000 and CP82-
384-001, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    NorAm is seeking abandonment authority because Arkla has requested 
an increase in deliverability at this delivery point of an additional 
5,000 cubic foot per hour. NorAm states that the total deliveries 
through the upgraded meter station will be approximately 4,464 Mbtu 
annually and 113 Mbtu per day on a peak day, and that such deliveries 
are within Arkla's certificated entitlement. NorAm estimates that the 
cost of the construction will be $18,569. Further, NorAm states that 
Arkla has agreed to reimburse NorAm for the cost of the project.

4. Southern Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-83-000]

    Take notice that on November 16, 1994, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-83-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon by sale 4.5 
miles of pipeline to Geodyne Gas Company (Geodyne), abandon in place 
4.8 miles of pipeline and abandon by removal two field compressors and 
a measuring and receiving station which was authorized in Docket Nos. 
CP82-102-000 and CP82-406-000, all as more fully set forth in the 
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Southern proposes to abandon by sale 4.5 miles of pipeline (the 
Black Warrior Pipeline), which extends from its interconnection with 
Geodyne's network of gathering facilities in Monroe County, 
Mississippi, to interconnecting facilities with Mississippi Valley Gas 
Company (MVG) in Monroe County, Mississippi. Southern also proposes to 
abandon in place 4.8 miles of pipeline (the Corinne Field Pipeline) 
which extends from Milepost 4.45 on the Black Warrior Pipeline to an 
interconnection with Southern's Muldon Pipeline in Monroe County, 
Mississippi. In addition, Southern proposes to abandon by removal a 600 
horsepower compressor and a 360 horsepower compressor which comprise 
Southern's Corinne Compressor Station, as well as a measuring and 
receiving station located near Milepost 4.45 on the Black Warrior 
Pipeline.
    Southern states that the facilities it seeks to abandon were 
originally installed by the Black Warrior Pipeline Company (BWP). It is 
stated that the compressor units were leased by BWP. Southern further 
states that Southern liquidated BWP and acquired its assets in Docket 
No. CP82-102-000 and Southern acquired the rental compressor units 
under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000 as a 
gas supply facility.
    Southern states that since it has acquired BWP, it has operated the 
facilities to receive gas supplies purchased by Southern from the 
Corinne Field, Monroe County, Mississippi. It is stated that these gas 
purchase contracts terminated on November 1, 1994. Southern states that 
since it has no gas purchase obligations or any firm transportation 
service obligations in Corinne Field, Southern has no need to continue 
to operate and maintain the facilities. Southern states that upon 
receipt of abandonment authorization, the Black Warrior Pipeline will 
be sold to Geodyne, the Corinne Field Pipeline will be abandoned in 
place and the compressor units and measuring and receiving station will 
be removed and either sold, scrapped or returned to inventory.
    Comment date: December 9, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.

finds that a grant of the certificate and/or permission and approval 
for the proposed abandonment are required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 
the Commission on its own motion 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,
