CEGT proposes to construct approximately 17.5 miles of 12-inch
pipeline to replace and extend Line FT-2 and to increase its MAOP from
450 psig to 1000 psig. CEGT indicates that the replacement and
extension would require new and additional right-of-way. CEGT also
proposes to abandon in place the existing 14-inch mechanically-coupled
pipe.
CEGT, in addition, proposes to construct the Sibley Compressor
Station that would consist of two (2) 1550 hp Waukesha L7044GSI
compressor units and appurtenant facilities. CEGT states that all of
the proposed construction activities would occur in Bienville and
Webster Parishes, Louisiana.
CEGT contends that the proposed construction, abandonment, and
increase in MAOP would have no adverse affect on any existing customers
or service. It is said that the total estimated construction cost would
be approximately $18.1 million, which would be financed with available
funds and/or short-term borrowings.
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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time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.
Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-filing''
link. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.

Secretary.
