Authorization

September 24, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 8, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP97-730-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 
and 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate a tap in Hughes 
County, Oklahoma to serve ARKLA, a division of NorAM Energy Corp. 
(ARKLA), under its blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-384-

Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, NGT proposes to construct and operate a 2-inch 
delivery tap and first-cut regulator to serve ARKLA. NGT says the tap 
will be installed on its Line 2-AD in Section 36, Township 5 North, 
Range 9 East, Hughes County, Oklahoma. NGT indicates that ARKLA will 
install the domestic meter setting. NGT relates that the estimated 
volumes to be delivered to this tap are approximately 160 MMBtu 
annually and 1 MMBtu on a peak day. NGT states that the tap and first-
cut regulator are to be constructed at an estimated cost of $2,600.00 
and that ARKLA will reimburse NGT the cost of construction.
    NGT states that it will transport gas to ARKLA and provide service 
under its tariff; that the volumes delivered are within ARKLA's 
certificated entitlement; and that NGT's tariff does not prohibit the 
addition of new delivery points. NGT says it has sufficient capacity to 
accomplish the 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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
