    Take notice that on November 14, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NorAm), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-80-000 a request pursuant to Section 157.205 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) to 
abandon and construct certain facilities in Union County, Arkansas, 
under NorAm's blanket certificates issued in Docket Nos. 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 which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    NorAm states that it would abandon 6,647 ft. of 2-inch plastic pipe 
on Line HM-2, 7,401 ft. of 2 to 8-inch coupled steel pipe on Line HM-1 
and three inactive delivery taps. NorAm states further that it would 
reconfigure its delivery facilities to Arkla at Smackover, Arkansas and 
abandon deteriorated and unreliable facilities.
    NorAm indicates that the estimated cost of the facilities to be 
abandoned is $49,721 and the estimated cost of the new facilities to 
relocate the delivery meter is $59,513.
    No service, it is said, would be abandoned as a result of the 
proposal.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
