NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 17, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 10, 1996, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NGT), 525 Milan Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151 filed in 
Docket No. CP97-145-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for approval and permission to abandon in 
place certain facilities in Ouachita County, Arkansas, under the 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-384-000, as amended in 
Docket No. CP82-384-001, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    NGT states that it proposes to abandon in place 7,321 feet of two-
inch pipeline on Line EM-12 and three inactive one-inch taps. NGT 
indicates that Line EM-12, composed of 25,251 feet of two-inch pipeline 
was constructed in 1958 and certificated in Docket No. G-13328 to 
deliver natural gas to various oil producing companies for use as fuel 
for their field operations. NGT further indicates that two of the taps 
for which NGT now seeks abandonment authority were certificated in 
Docket No. G-10887. NGT also indicates that the third tap was 
certificated in Docket No. CP66-138. NGT asserts that the oil companies 
served by these taps have elected to use alternative fuel and have 
subsequently left NGT's system.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
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 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 activities 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 30 days after the time 
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as
