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

November 2, 1995.
    Take notice that on October 19, 1995, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(El Paso), Post Office Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed a request 
with the Commission in Docket No. CP96-30-000 pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to construct and operate a bi-

Docket Nos. CP82-435-000 and CP88-433-000, all as more fully set forth 
in the request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    El Paso seeks authorization to construct and operate a bi-
directional interconnect with the facilities of PNM Gas Services, a 
division of Public Service Company of New Mexico (``PNM Gas Services'') 
in Lea County, New Mexico. The proposed interconnection would permit 
PNM Gas Services to serve residential, commercial and industrial 
customers. El Paso has reported that they would construct and operate 
the proposed interconnect at its own expense which they report to be an 
estimated cost of $268,200.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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 NGA.

Secretary.
