[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 112 (Wednesday, June 11, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 31807] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-15187] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP97-554-000] NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request under Blanket Authorization June 5, 1997. Take notice that on May 30, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP97-554-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization to replace and upgrade certain facilities in Arkansas, under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-001 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. NGT proposes to upgrade a 1-inch meter by replacing it with a 2- inch U-shape meter station at an existing tap on NGT's Line TM-10 in Arkansas County, Arkansas. NGT installed this meter in 1995 to deliver gas to domestic and commercial customers served by Arkla. The existing meter station was certificated in Docket No. CP95-704 to deliver 1,105 MMBtu annually and 10 MMBtu on a peak day. NGT proposes to upgrade this rural extension by removing the existing 1-inch meter and replacing it with a 2-inch U-shape meter. The 2-inch meter would allow estimated deliveries of 4,500 MMBtu annually and 1,800 MMBtu on peak day. The estimated cost of the new meter is $16,073. NGT states that the total volumes delivered will not exceed total volumes authorized prior to this request and that NGT has sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to its 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 358.214) 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.
