NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 17, 1997.
    Take notice that on June 12, 1997, NorAm Gas Transmission Company 
(NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. 
CP97-574-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.211) for authorization to operate certain facilities in Arkansas to 
deliver gas to ARKLA, a distribution division of NorAm Energy Corp. 
(ARKLA), under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-384-
000, et al., 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 specifically proposes to operate an existing 1-inch rural 
delivery tap on NGT's Line JM-23 in West Memphis, Crittenden County, 
Arkansas to provide service to ARKLA. NGT states that ARKLA plans to 
connect a rural extension distribution line to NGT's existing tap to 
serve customers other than the right-of-way grantor. NGT states that 
the estimated volumes to be delivered through the facilities are 1,108 
MMBtu annually and 10 MMBtu on a peak day. NGT states that ARKLA will 
furnish all materials to connect its rural extension line to NGT's 
existing tap. NGT estimates its total cost will be approximately $400, 
of which ARKLA will reimburse NGT $275.
    NGT states that it will transport gas to ARKLA and provide service 
under its tariff, that the volumes delivered are within ARKLA's 
certificated entitlement and NGT's tariff does not prohibit the 
addition of new delivery points. NGT also states that it has sufficient 
capacity to accomplish the 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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
