6-inch meter station and dual 4-inch regulator. The subject delivery 
lateral interconnects with NGT's Line FM-12 in Section 37, Township 
2ON, Range 4E, at Sterlington, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. This line, 
FM-66, will be used to deliver natural gas to Louisiana Power and

estimated volumes to be delivered to this delivery tap are 
approximately 15,000 MMBtu per day on a peak day and approximately 
5,475,000 MMBtu on an annual basis. The delivery lateral will be 
purchased at the existing net book value of approximately $120,000. The 
facilities to be relocated will be removed from NGT's point of current 
interconnect with Lafayette and relocated to the point of delivery at 
the LP&L plant. The facilities will be used as part of NGT's existing 
interstate system. No customers or service will be abandoned as a 
result of the acquisition, the operation or the abandonment of these 
facilities. The volumes to be delivered to LP&L are within LP&L's 
certified entitlements pursuant to NGT's blanket transportation 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP88-820 and the transportation 
service agreement executed pursuant to NGT's tariff.

withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
