NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application

December 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 28, 1997, as supplemented on December 
4, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NGT), 525 Milam Street, P.O. 
Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, filed in Docket No. CP98-50-000 
a request pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for approval 
to construct and operate certain facilities in Arkansas to deliver 
natural gas to Nucor-Yamato Steel Company (Nucor), an existing customer 
of NGT's in Blytheville, Arkansas, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    NGT states that it specifically proposes to construct a two-inch 
delivery tap and six-inch meter and regulating station in Mississippi 
County, Arkansas. NGT further states that the proposed tap would 
increase the deliveries of natural gas to Nucor by 2,304 MMBtu per day 
and 840,960 MMBtu on an annual basis. NGT asserts that the 
transportation of natural gas to Nucor will occur under NGT's rate 
schedule FT. NGT indicates that the total cost of construction is 
estimated to be $38,642, which would be completely reimbursed by Nucor.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference 
to said application should on or before December 12, 1997, file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a 
petition to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party to the proceeding or to participate as a party in any 
hearing therein must file a petition to intervene in accordance with 
the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission on this application 
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein, 
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the 
application is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission 
on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is requested, further 
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for NorAm to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
