Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP04-17-000]


CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

November 24, 2003.
    Take notice that on November 14, 2003, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 
77002-5231, filed in Docket No. CP04-17-000, a request pursuant to 
Sec. Sec.  157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to 
abandon certain facilities and to continue to operate certain other 
facilities in Webster Parish in the State of Louisiana, under CEGT's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-001 
pursuant to section 7(C) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully 
described in the request.
    The request is on file with the Commission and is available for 
public inspection at the Commission or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site 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, please 
contact FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free 
at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    CEGT proposes to abandon, by sale and transfer, certain above-
ground facilities that are currently a part of various CEGT delivery 
point facilities in the State of Louisiana as described more fully in 
the request. CEGT further proposes to sell and transfer these 
facilities to CenterPoint Energy Arkla (Arkla), a distribution division 
of CenterPoint Energy, Incorporated, at the estimated net book value of 
$123,345.98. CEGT states that no services would be abandoned as a 
result of the proposed sale and transfer. The request states that Arkla 
would own and operate these facilities as part of its distribution 
system.
    CEGT avers that a review of its certificates, initiated in 
conjunction with the proposed abandonment, has raised the possibility 
that certain of CEGT's facilities may require certificate 
authorization. CEGT, therefore, also seeks Commission authorization for 
the continued operation of certain existing facilities known as Line 
FM-47 and the Sibley-Dubberly town border meter station in Webster 
Parish, Louisiana.
    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 Sec.  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 therefor, 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.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Lawrence O. Thomas, Director-Rates & Regulatory, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, or 
call (318) 429-2804.
    Comment Date: January 8, 2004.

Secretary.
