DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-776-000]
NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
September 22, 1998.
Take notice that on September 14, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission
Company (NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket
No. CP98-776-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.216) for authorization to abandon certain facilities in Arkansas,
under NGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 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 that is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
By this application, NGT seeks the Commission's authority to
abandon a compressor station in Conway County, Arkansas. Specifically,
NGT seeks authority to abandon a 660 horsepower compressor station,
including the building the unit is housed and all other appurtenant
equipment and facilities associated with the compressor station. NGT
states that the compressor and above ground facilities will be removed
and the station piping will be cut and capped and abandoned in place.
NGT estimates the cost of abandonment and removal of the unit will be
approximately $41,842. NGT states that the subject facilities are
located on NGT's Line B, a 10-inch lateral line, in Conway County,
Arkansas in Section 17, Township 6 North, Range 16 West at Station
Number 2084+26. NGT also states that these facilities, designated as
the Morrilton Compressor Station, were certificated in FERC Docket No.
CP68-344 and were used to facilitate deliveries to Arkla, a division of
NorAm Energy Corporation for service to small rural distribution towns
in central Arkansas. NGT further states that the station has not been
in use since 1991, and is no longer needed to provide deliveries to
NGT's existing customers. NGT states that, upon abandonment, any
equipment removed will be junked at no value.
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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
