    Take notice that on March 11, 1999, Reliant Energy Gas Transmission 
(REGT) formerly NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NGT), 1100 Louisiana 
Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP99-249-000 a

issued in Docket Nos. CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-001 to abandon and 
operate certain facilities in Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in

    REGT specifically proposes to abandon a 1-inch meter station on 
Line F-east in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana and to operate a 2-inch meter 
station under Subpart G of the Regulations. It is stated that these 
facilities were constructed on Line F-east to upgrade the 1-inch meter 
station, solely to provide service under section 311 of the NGPA and 
Subpart B of the Regulations on behalf of Reliant Energy Arkla, a 
division of Reliant Energy, Inc. (Arkla). The volumes to be delivered 
to this meter are about 56,000 Dth annually and 240 Dth on a peak day. 
It is also stated that the meter station was upgraded on March 4, 1999, 
at a cost of $17,870 and Arkla will reimburse REGT. The cost to abandon 
the 1-inch station is $7,969, it is asserted.
    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 Rule (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 
date 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
