Take notice that on November 2, 1998, NorAm Gas Transmission Company (NorAm), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77210, filed in Docket No. CP99-47-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216) for authorization to abandon, construct, and operate certain facilities in Arkansas. 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. NorAm proposes to abandon, by sale and transfer to Arkla, the facilities list below which are located in Lafayette and Columbia Counties, Arkansas. The facilities will be sold to Arkla at their net book value of $140,931.73. Specifically, NorAm proposes to sell to Arkla a 1.53 mile segment of Line AM-39 that serves the Town of Buckner, Arkansas and nine rural delivery taps. NorAm also proposes to abandon a 5.33 mile segment of Line AM-39, Line AM-42 in its entirety, and approximately 1.6 miles of Line AM-44 used to deliver gas to the Town of Waldo, Arkansas and eight rural delivery taps. It is stated that Arkla will operate these facilities as part of its distribution system to provide low-pressure service to its existing customers. It is averred that no service will be abandoned as a result of this proposed abandonment. In conjunction with these abandonments, NorAm proposes to install a 2-inch meter station on Line AM-190 and a 3-inch meter station on Line AM-44 to continue deliveries to Arkla. NorAm estimates the cost to construct these two taps to be approximately $13,076. 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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.
