NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request under Blanket 
Authorization

June 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 30, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission Company 
(NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. 
CP97-554-000 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 replace and 
upgrade certain facilities in Arkansas, under NGT's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. 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 
that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    NGT proposes to upgrade a 1-inch meter by replacing it with a 2-
inch U-shape meter station at an existing tap on NGT's Line TM-10 in 
Arkansas County, Arkansas. NGT installed this meter in 1995 to deliver 
gas to domestic and commercial customers served by Arkla. The existing 
meter station was certificated in Docket No. CP95-704 to deliver 1,105 
MMBtu annually and 10 MMBtu on a peak day. NGT proposes to upgrade this 
rural extension by removing the existing 1-inch meter and replacing it 
with a 2-inch U-shape meter. The 2-inch meter would allow estimated 
deliveries of 4,500 MMBtu annually and 1,800 MMBtu on peak day. The 
estimated cost of the new meter is $16,073.
    NGT states that the total volumes delivered will not exceed total 
volumes authorized prior to this request and that NGT has sufficient 
capacity to accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to 
its 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 358.214) 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
