DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-47-000]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
November 12, 1998.
Take notice that on November 2, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission
Company (NorAm), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77210, filed in
Docket No. CP99-47-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216) for authorization to abandon,
construct, and operate certain facilities in Arkansas. NorAm makes such
request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. 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 on file with the Commission.
NorAm proposes to abandon, by sale and transfer to Arkla, the
facilities list below which are located in Lafayette and Columbia
Counties, Arkansas. The facilities will be sold to Arkla at their net
book value of $140,931.73. Specifically, NorAm proposes to sell to
Arkla a 1.53 mile segment of Line AM-39 that serves the Town of
Buckner, Arkansas and nine rural delivery taps. NorAm also proposes to
abandon a 5.33 mile segment of Line AM-39, Line AM-42 in its entirety,
and approximately 1.6 miles of Line AM-44 used to deliver gas to the
Town of Waldo, Arkansas and eight rural delivery taps.
It is stated that Arkla will operate these facilities as part of
its distribution system to provide low-pressure service to its existing
customers. It is averred that no service will be abandoned as a result
of this proposed abandonment.
In conjunction with these abandonments, NorAm proposes to install a
2-inch meter station on Line AM-190 and a 3-inch meter station on Line
AM-44 to continue deliveries to Arkla. NorAm estimates the cost to
construct these two taps to be approximately $13,076.
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
