(Trunkline), P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, filed in Docket 
No. CP95-777-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

for authorization to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure 
(MAOP) from 1,200 to 1,300 psi in a 16'' lateral pipeline (319B-3800 
lateral) extending from South Timbalier Block 175 to Ewing Bank Block 
826, Offshore Louisiana, under its blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP83-84-000,\1\ all as more fully set forth in the request for 
authorization on file with the Commission and open for public 
inspection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Trunkline states that the increase in the MAOP in its 319B-3800 
lateral is required to alleviate operating pressure variances on 
laterals upstream of Trunkline's T-22 platform located in South 
Timbalier Block 175, Offshore Louisiana. Trunkline proposes to install 
a pressure limiting device at the T-22 platform in order to prevent the 
higher pressure from migrating into the downstream system.\2\ Trunkline 
states that this increase in the MAOP will have no impact on 
Trunkline's mainline system downstream of the T-22 platform. Trunkline 
holds a blanket transportation certificate pursuant to Part 284 of the 
Commission's Regulations issued in Docket No. CP86-586-000.\3\

    \2\ Trunkline states that construction will be done pursuant to 
Section 2.55(a) of the Commission's Regulations.

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.
