peak day. NGT says that the cost of the facilities to be installed is 
$11,163 and that $8,786 will be reimbursed by ARKLA.

protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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
