DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-651-000]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
July 14, 1998.
Take notice that on July 2, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company
(NorAm), 1111 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No.
CP98-651-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.212, and
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216) for authorization to upgrade
facilities in Oklahoma. NorAm makes such request under its blanket
certificate issued in Docket Nos. 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 on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Specifically, NorAm seeks authority to (1) operate under Subpart G
of Part
[[Page 38823]]
284 of the Commission's Regulations, measurement facilities constructed
under Section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act and Subpart B, Part 284
of the Commission's Regulations; and (2) abandon obsolete measurement
facilities and install upgraded delivery facilities at Delhi, Oklahoma
to continue service to Arkla, a division of NorAm Energy Corporation
(Arkla).
NorAm states that pursuant to Section 311, that it upgraded an
existing delivery tap located on NorAm's Line 11-2 at pipeline station
no. 355+41 in Comanche County, Oklahoma. It is stated that Arkla
requested upgraded service and increased deliveries at that location,
and that NorAm accordingly installed a Roots rotary 16M meter and two
1-inch Fisher regulators at an estimated cost of $600. (It is averred
that Arkla fabricated the new meter and regulators and donated those
facilities to NorAm at no cost.) NorAm states that it will own and
operate those facilities and seeks authority to operate those
facilities under Subpart G. NorAm estimates that up to 69,370
dekatherms (Dt) will be delivered to that tap annually and 651 Dt on a
peak day.
At Delhi, Oklahoma, NorAm proposes to abandon and junk an American
AL 800 meter, one 1-inch Fisher 630 regulator and one 1-inch Reliance
1800 regulator located at an existing town border station on NorAm's
Line 8 at pipeline station no. 400+62 in Beckham County, Oklahoma.
NorAm states that it will install a Roots 11M positive displacement
meter and one 1-inch 399 Fisher regulator at an estimated cost of $600.
(It is indicated that Arkla will fabricate the new meter and regulator
and donate those facilities to NorAm at no cost.) The estimated volumes
to be delivered to that tap are approximately 10,409 Dt annually and
492 Dt on a peak day.
NorAm states that the volumes in this request will be within
Arkla's certificated entitlements, and that NorAm's tariff does not
prohibit the addition of new delivery points. It is further stated that
NorAm 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
