[Docket No. CP96-518-000]


NorAm Gas Transmission Co.; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

May 17, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 13, 1996, NorAm Gas Transmission Company 
(NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. 
CP96-518-000 a request pursuant to Section 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 certain facilities 
in the State of Arkansas. NGT makes such request, under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-384-000 and CP82-348-001, 
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.
    Specifically, NGT is proposing to construct and operate a 1-inch 
tap and 1-inch first-cut regulator on NGT's Line J in Craighead County, 
Arkansas. NGT indicates that the proposed facilities will be 
constructed within NGT's existing right-of-way. NGT declares that the 
facilities will be used to deliver gas to ARKLA, which is a 
distribution division of NorAm Energy Corp. It is estimated that 
approximately 640 MMBtu annually will be delivered to this delivery 
tap, and approximately 8 MMBtu on a peak day. NGT implies that the 
volumes proposed to be delivered are within ARKLA's existing 
entitlements.
    NGT estimates the construction cost of this project to be $2,700, 
and states that ARKLA has agreed to reimburse NGT for those cost. NGT 
indicates that ARKLA will construct a 1\1/2\ inch U-Shape meter and 
convey it to NGT. It is further stated that NGT will own and operate 
the tap, first-cut regulator and meter.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
