[Docket No. CP98-202-000]


NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 30, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 27, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-202-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.211) for authorization to construct and operate certain facilities 
in Arkansas to deliver gas to ARKLA, a distribution division of NorAm 
Energy Corp. (ARKLA), under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. 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 that is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    NGT proposes to install a 1-inch tap and regulator on its Line BT-
14 in Conway County, Arkansas to provide increased service to ARKLA's 
rural distribution system. NGT states that the total estimated volumes 
to be delivered to these facilities are 900 MMBtu annually and 3 MMBtu 
on a peak day. NGT estimates the total cost of the project to be 
$2,248, and that ARKLA will reimburse NGT an estimated $1,908 of those 
costs.
    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 NGT's tariff does not prohibit the 
addition of new delivery points. NGT also states that it has sufficient 
capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment or disadvantage 
of 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
