[Docket No. CP98-623-000]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application to Abandon
June 23, 1998.
Take notice that on June 17, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company
(NorAm), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151 filed under
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon,
ownership interests in two offshore Louisiana gathering facilities. The
application is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Specifically, NorAm proposes to abandon its 20.83% ownership
interest in a 10.34 mile, 20-inch gathering line extending from Block
57 to Block 32 in the Eugene Island field. NorAm also proposes to
abandon its 18.79% ownership interest in a 1.45 mile, 12-\3/4\-inch
gathering line extending from block 73 to Block 72 in the Main Pass
Field.
Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference
to said application should on or before July 14, 1998, file with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
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
Natural Gas Act (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 Natural Gas Act 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds
that permission and approval of the proposed abandonment are 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 NorAm to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
