[Docket No. CP06-427-000]
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
August 2, 2006.
Take notice that on July 26, 2006, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of
America (Natural), 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148, filed
in Docket No. CP06-427-000, a request pursuant to sections 157.205 and
157. 208 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act and
its blanket certificate issued in Docket No CP82-402-000 for
authorization to replace approximately 4.34 miles of Natural's 30-inch
Louisiana Mainline No. 1 line in Liberty County, Texas with new,
heavier walled 30-inch pipeline in an adjacent right-of-way at a cost
of approximately $11.9 million. This filing is available for review at
the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Web
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at
FERCOnlineSupport@gerc.gov or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY,
(202) 502-8659.
Natural states that in order to continue to operate this segment of
its pipeline system at current, required operating pressures, the
subject 4.34 mile long segment of pipe must be upgraded to a higher
classification of pipe. Due to residential congestion that has built up
along natural's Louisiana Mainline No. 1 easement, Natural finds that
it will be impossible to replace the pipe along the existing right-of-
way easement for the entire 4.34 miles.
Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the
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 Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (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 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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time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 NGA.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Bruce H. Newsome, Vice President, Rates and Certificates, Natural Gas
Pipeline Company of America, 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois
60148-5072, or call (630) 691-3526 or fax (630) 691-3553.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
