    Reliant proposes to construct and operate a 2-inch delivery tap and 
first-cut regulator to serve Reliant Energy Arkla (Arkla), a division 
of Reliant Energy, Incorporated. It is stated that Arkla will construct 
and operate a domestic meter setting, and that Reliant will own and 
operate the delivery tap and first-cut regulator. The tap and regulator 
is proposed to be installed on Reliant's Line 10 at pipeline station 
637+24 in Stephens County, Oklahoma, at an estimated cost of $1,500. 
Reliant states that all construction will occur on the existing right-
of-way. It is stated that Arkla has agreed to reimburse Reliant's 
construction cost.
    The estimated volumes to be delivered to this tap are 85 Dt 
annually and 0.25 Dt on a peak day. It is averred that Reliant will 
transport gas to Arkla and provide service under its tariff, and that 
the volumes proposed for delivery are within Arkla's certificated 
entitlements. Reliant further states that its tariff does not prohibit 
the addition of new delivery points, and that Reliant has sufficient 
capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment or disadvantage 
to 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
