[Docket No. CP99-261-000]


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

March 23, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 16, 1999, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El 
Paso), a Delaware corporation, whose mailing address is P.O. Box 1492, 
El Paso, Texas 79978, filed in Docket No. CP99-261-000 a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of Commission's Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) to certificate and 
to continue the operation of an existing delivery point located in El 
Paso County, Texas, installed under Section 311(a) of the Natural Gas 
Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), under El Paso's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP82-435-000 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. This filing may be viewed 
on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 
for assistance).
    The request for authorization states El Paso installed the Southern 
Union Gas Angel Park Delivery Point (Angel Park Delivery Point) under 
Section 311(a)

[[Page 14896]]

and has exclusively used this delivery point for the transportation and 
delivery of natural gas under Part 284, Subpart B. El Paso states that 
the regulatory restriction placed on the operation of a facility 
installed under Section 311(a) of the NGPA prohibits El Paso's shippers 
from utilizing this delivery point under any transportation arrangement 
other than a Subpart B transportation arrangement. In view of this 
limited service flexibility, El Paso states that certification of the 
Angel Park Delivery Point pursuant to Section 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations, is necessary and in the public interest.
    El Paso states that the continued operation of the existing Angel 
Park Delivery Point under the NGA is not prohibited by El Paso's 
existing Volume No. 1-A FERC Gas Tariff. Other than the certification 
of service under Subpart G, this proposal will not result in any change 
in the transportation service or the total volumes delivered at the 
Angel Park Delivery Point. El Paso further states that 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 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.
