El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

August 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 6, 1997, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El 
Paso), P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed in Docket No. CP97-
684-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.212) for authorization to upgrade the existing Deming Industrial 
Park Meter Station, located in Luna County, New Mexico, thereby 
permitting additional firm deliveries of natural gas to the City of 
Deming, New Mexico (Deming), under El Paso's certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-435-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 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.
    El Paso proposes to upgrade the existing Deming Industrial Park 
Meter Station, located in Section 7, Township 24 South, Range 8 West, 
Luna County, New Mexico, by adding one 2-inch O.D. senior orifice meter 
and modifying the existing EFM for dual run capability. El Paso states 
the upgraded metering facilities, upon completion, will have a maximum 
peak day capacity of 1,800 Mcf of natural gas. El Paso asserts that it 
has sufficient mainline peak day capacity to transport and deliver such 
gas volumes without detriment or disadvantage to El Paso's other 
customers.
    El Paso states that Deming will reimburse them for the costs 
related to the upgrade of the Deming Industrial Park Meter Station, 
estimated to be $17,300, including respective overhead and contingency 
fees.
    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 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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
