[Docket No. CP96-562-000]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application
June 17, 1996.
Take notice that on June 10, 1996, NorAm Gas Transmission Company
(NGT), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, filed an
application with the Commission in Docket No. CP96-562-000 pursuant to
Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the National Gas Act (NGA) for permission and
approval to abandon and move compression facilities and appurtenances
thereto, located in Yell County, Arkansas, and the authority to
construct and operate a new mainline compressor station in Conway
County, Arkansas, all as more fully set forth in the application which
is open to the public for inspection.
NGT proposes to abandon the Chambers Compressor Station which
consists of one 4,000 H.P. engine located on NGT's Line BT-1 in Yell
County and to reclaim the compressor and associated equipment which
would then be used in the construction of a new 4,000 H.P. compressor
station (the Round Mountain Compressor Station), to be located on NGT's
Line J in Conway County. NGT estimates that it would cost $2,377,252 to
abandon and remove the Chambers Compressor Station and to construct and
operate the Round Mountain Compressor Station. NorAm states that no
service to any of its existing customers would be affected by this
proposal.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before July 8, 1996, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426,
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). All
protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA and the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held
without further notice before the Commission or its designee on this
application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time required
herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that a
grant of the certificate is required by the public convenience and
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for NGT to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
