[Docket No. CP99-250-000]


Reliant Energy Gas Transmission; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 18, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 11, 1999, Reliant Energy Gas Transmission 
Company (REGT), formerly NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NGT), 1111 
Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002-5231, filed in Docket No. CP99-
250-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 and 157.211 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.216 and 157.211) for authorization to abandon, construct and 
operate certain facilities in Louisiana, under REGT'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. The application may be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    REGT proposes to abandon two 2-inch Fisher regulators and one 1-
inch relief valve and install two 2-inch Fisher ET Barton Control 
regulators and one 3-inch Axialflow relief valve to upgrade a meter 
station on Line HM-34 in Union Parish, Louisiana, to provide additional 
deliveries to and on behalf of Reliant Energy Arkla, a distribution 
division of Reliant Energy, Incorporation (Arkla). Arkla has requested 
that this meter station be upgraded to allow an increase in deliveries. 
The estimated volumes to be delivered through these upgraded facilities 
are approximately 946,080 Dth annually and 4,320 Dth on a peak day. The 
facilities will be constructed and placed in service at an estimated 
cost of $16,620 and Arkla will reimburse REGT for the cost of 
construction.
    REGT states that the proposed activity is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff and that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate 
the proposed changes without detriment or disadvantage to REGT's other 
customers. That its peak day and annual deliveries will not be effected 
and that the total volumes to be delivered to the customer after the 
request do not exceed the total volumes authorize prior to the request.
    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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
