January 11, 1996.

    Take notice that on December 29, 1995, NorAm Gas Transmission 
Company (NorAm), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-130-000 a request pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act, as amended, and Sections 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216(b) for 
authorization to abandon certain facilities in Arkansas, and to 
construct and operate certain facilities in Arkansas in accordance with 
the authority granted to NorAm in its blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-001 pursuant to 18 CFR Part 157, 
Subpart F of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open for public 
inspection.
    NorAm specifically proposes to abandon one 2-inch U-Shape meter 
station located on NorAm's Line AM-145 in Arkansas and replace it with 
one 3-inch L-Shape meter station to be located in Jefferson County, 
Arkansas. NorAm states that no service will be abandoned. NorAm states 
that these facilities are necessary to accommodate a request from Arkla 
for increased volumes. NorAm estimated the volumes to be delivered 
through these facilities are approximately 876,000 MMBtu annually and 
4,800 MMBtu daily. NorAm states that the estimated cost of construction 
is $45,943 and Arkla will reimburse NorAm $30,560.
    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

the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
