[Docket No. CP99-143-000]


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

January 13, 1999.
    Take notice that on January 7, 1999, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(El Paso), P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed a prior notice 
request with the Commission in Docket No. CP99-143-000 pursuant to 
Section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA) for authorization to operate a delivery point in Cibola 
County, New Mexico, originally installed under Section 311 of the 
Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, as a jurisdictional facility under El 
Paso's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-435-000 pursuant 
to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is open to the public for inspection.
    El Paso proposes to operate the Colorado Greenhouse delivery point 
as a delivery point for natural gas transportation services under 
Subpart G of Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations. El Paso states 
that it placed the delivery point in service for transportation 
services under Subpart B of Part 284 of the Regulations on December 4, 
1998, to serve Colorado Greenhouse Holdings (Colorado Greenhouse), a 
subsidiary of Colorado Greenhouse, on behalf of Westar Gas Transmission 
Company, an intrastate pipeline. El Paso further states that it would 
deliver up to 1,700 McF of natural gas per peak day and up to 434,000 
McF of natural gas yearly on a firm basis to satisfy the fuel 
requirements for the greenhouse boilers. El Paso states that the 
Colorado Greenhouse delivery point consists of one 2-inch tap and value 
assembly, with appurtenances and were constructed at a cost of $44,400 
for which Colorado Greenhouse reimbursed El Paso.
    El Paso states that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the 
deliveries of the requested gas volumes without detriment or 
disadvantage to El Paso's other existing customers and that El Paso's 
FERC Gas Tariff does prohibit the construction of new delivery points.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 NGA.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
