[Docket No. RP99-214-000]


Reliant Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 19, 1999.
    Take notice that on February 16, 1999, as supplemented on February 
18, 1999, Reliant Energy Gas Transmission Company (Reliant, formerly 
known as NorAm Gas Transmission Company), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, 
Louisiana, filed a prior notice request with the Commission in Docket 
No. CP99-214-000 pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to 
construct and operate certain facilities in Poinsett County, Arkansas, 
under its blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-384-000 and 
CP82-384-001 pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set 
forth in the request which is open to the public for inspection. The 
application may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm 
(call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    Reliant proposes to upgrade three existing delivery points to serve 
Reliant Energy Arkla (Arkla), a division of Reliant Energy, 
Incorporated. Reliant states that it would remove the three existing 1-
inch meters and replace them with three 2-inch meters. Reliant also 
states that the existing 1-inch meters would be removed and junked at 
no value. Reliant would own and operate the meters on its Line J in 
Poinsett County. Reliant would deliver approximately 240 Dekatherm 
equivalent of natural gas daily to Arkla at each delivery point. 
Reliant asserts that Arkla would reimburse Reliant for

the $9,177 estimated total construction cost of the three 2-inch 
meters.
    Reliant states that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the 
deliveries of the requested gas volumes without detriment or 
disadvantage to Reliant's other existing customers and that Reliant's 
FERC Gas Tariff does not 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
