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

January 4, 1999.
    Take notice that on December 18, 1998, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(El Paso), Post Office Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed in Docket 
No. CP99-127-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 
and 157.212) for certification of the Stetson Hills Delivery Point 
(Stetson Hills) in Maricopa County Arizona, under El Paso's blanket 
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 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    El Paso states it installed Stetson Hills under Section 311(a) and 
has exclusively used this delivery point for the firm transportation 
and delivery of natural gas under part 284, Subpart B on behalf of 
Southwest Gas Corporation (Southwest). El Paso requests certification 
so it can provide both part 384, Subpart B and Subpart G transportation 
to Stetson Hills.
    El Paso reports that Stetson Hills, which consists of one 2-inch 
O.D. tap and valve assembly, with appurtenant facilities, was put into 
service on September 29, 1998. El Paso relates that the total cost of 
the installation was approximately $12,400, which Southwest completely 
reimbursed to El Paso.
    El Paso states that it will continue to provide the same firm 
service to Stetson Hills under its August 9, 1991, firm transportation 
service agreement with Southwest. El Paso indicates the quantity of gas 
to be transported on a firm basis is estimated to be 99,287 Mcf 
annually and 272 Mcf per day with the end use of the gas being 
residential. El Paso states that this authorization is not prohibited 
by its existing tariff. El Paso also says it has sufficient capacity to 
accomplish the deliveries of the requested gas volumes without 
detriment or disadvantage to El Paso's other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 
20426, 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 if 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.

Acting Secretary.
