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.
