[[Page 2251]]
filed in Docket No. CP96-138-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a 
delivery point to permit the firm transportation and delivery of 
natural gas to PNM Gas Services, a division of Public Service Company 
of New Mexico, under El Paso's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
CP82-435-000 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.
    El Paso proposes to construct and operate a delivery point in San 
Juan County, New Mexico on its existing 20-inch Blanco-Fruitland First 
Loop Line and 16-inch Blanco-Fruitland Second Loop Line. El Paso states 
that PNM Gas Services would use the gas delivered from the proposed 
delivery point, referred to as the 30th Street Meter Station, to serve 
the residential, commercial and industrial requirements of its new and 
existing customers in the Farmington, New Mexico area. The proposed 
quantity of natural gas to be transported on a firm basis to the 30th 
Street Meter Station is up to 10,000 Mcf per day and 1,800,000 Mcf 
annually. El Paso states that the estimated cost of the proposed 
delivery point is $81,100 and that PNM Gas Services would reimburse El 
Paso for the cost.
    El Paso states that the volumes proposed to be delivered at the 
30th Street Meter Station are within PNM Gas Services' certificated 
entitlements and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the 
deliveries of the proposed gas volumes without detriment or 
disadvantage to El Paso's other customers.
    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 filed 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
