NorAm Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

May 20, 1998.
    Take notice that on May 13, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company 
(NGT), 1111 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP98-
543-000, a request, pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.211), for authorization to operate certain facilities in Arkansas 
and Oklahoma, under NGT's blanket certificate authorization 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 which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, NGT requests authority at the request of ARKLA, a 
distribution division of NorAm Energy Corp. (ARKLA) to operate ten (10) 
existing taps for delivery of natural gas to ARKLA for resale to 
consumers other than the right-of-way grantors for whom the taps were 
originally installed. NGT relates that the volume through these taps 
range from 1 MMBtu to 200 MMBtu per day. NGT has attached in Exhibit Z 
to its application which is an excerpt from NGT's 1997 annual report 
which identifies the location and size of each of the ten taps to be 
certificated. NGT states there will be no new construction.
    NGT states that this change is not prohibited by its tariff and 
that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries specified 
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 with the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, 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 therefore, 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    If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the 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,
Acting Secretary.
