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

public inspection.
    El Paso states that Southwest seeks to deliver natural gas to its 
customers from a point of El Paso's 12\3/4\'' O.D. Santan Line in 
Maricopa County, Arizona. The proposed location is approximately at 
milepost 9.2 on El Paso's 12\3/4\'' O.D. Santan Line in the NE/4 of 
Section 20, Township 1 South, Range 6 East, in Maricopa County, 
Arizona. El Paso has been advised that Southwest will use the gas to 
serve the residential, commercial, and industrial requirements of its 
customers in the Gilbert, Arizona area. El Paso requests authorization 
to construct and operate the proposed delivery point (known as the 
Gilbert City Gate Meter Station) on its 12\3/4\'' O.D. Santan Line in 
Maricopa County, Arizona. The estimated cost is $92,100 and Southwest 
has agreed to reimburse El Paso pursuant to their letter agreement.
    El Paso states that the proposed delivery point is not prohibited 
by its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to 
accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other 
customers. The proposed delivery point will not have an effect on El 
Paso's peak day and annual deliveries and the total volumes delivered 
will not exceed total volumes authorized prior to this request.
    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 Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant 
to Sec. 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 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.
