[Docket No. CP97-684-000]
El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
August 12, 1997.
Take notice that on August 6, 1997, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El
Paso), P.O. Box 1492, El Paso, Texas 79978, filed in Docket No. CP97-
684-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.212) for authorization to upgrade the existing Deming Industrial
Park Meter Station, located in Luna County, New Mexico, thereby
permitting additional firm deliveries of natural gas to the City of
Deming, New Mexico (Deming), under El Paso's certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-435-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 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.
El Paso proposes to upgrade the existing Deming Industrial Park
Meter Station, located in Section 7, Township 24 South, Range 8 West,
Luna County, New Mexico, by adding one 2-inch O.D. senior orifice meter
and modifying the existing EFM for dual run capability. El Paso states
the upgraded metering facilities, upon completion, will have a maximum
peak day capacity of 1,800 Mcf of natural gas. El Paso asserts that it
has sufficient mainline peak day capacity to transport and deliver such
gas volumes without detriment or disadvantage to El Paso's other
customers.
El Paso states that Deming will reimburse them for the costs
related to the upgrade of the Deming Industrial Park Meter Station,
estimated to be $17,300, including respective overhead and contingency
fees.
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
