Katy Storage and Transportation, L.P.; Notice of Petition for 
Rate Approval

October 2, 2003.
    Take notice that on September 23, 2003, Katy Storage and 
Transportation, L.P. (KST) filed a petition for rate approval of 
market-based rates for storage services pursuant to Sec.  284.123(b)(2) 
of the Commission's Regulations. KST requests approval of its proposed 
rates as being fair and equitable as it will lack the requisite market 
power to charge rates in excess of amounts that interstate pipelines 
and storage providers could charge for similar services.
    KST affirms that it is an intrastate pipeline within the meaning of 
section 2(16) of the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA). Consistent with the 
Commission's approval of its Section 311 rates in Docket No. PR03-18-
000, KST proposes to make its section 311 rates effective as of 
September 23, 2003.
    Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the date of this filing, the rates will be 
deemed to be fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which 
interstate pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar 
transportation service. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of 
the 150 day period, extend the time for action or institute a 
proceeding to afford parties an opportunity for written comments and 
for the oral presentation of views, data, and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal
