maintain certain natural gas transmission facilities to provide 
transportation services. The application is on file with the Commission 
and open for public inspection. This filing is available for review at 
the Commission in the Public Reference Room 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

    Trunkline Gas proposes to construct 22.8 miles of 30-inch Diameter 
pipeline by looping a portion of the LNG Lateral originating at the 
interconnection with the liquefied natural gas import terminal of 
Trunkline LNG Company, LLC (Trunkline LNG) in Calcasieu, Louisiana, and 
terminating at Gate 203 A of Trunkline Gas's existing Line 200-2, also 
in Calcasieu. The proposed facilities also include four new pipeline 
interconnections, modifications of two existing pipeline 
interconnections, and replacement of the existing orifice meters at 
Trunkline LNG Terminal with three ultrasonic meter runs. Trunkline Gas 
has entered into a Firm Transportation Service Agreement with BG LNG 
Services, Inc. (BGLS) to provide transportation service up to 1,500 
Mdt/day of regasified LNG pursuant to Rate Schedule FT, for a term of 
19 years. Trunkline Gas proposes to place the project in service by 
July 1, 2005.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to 
William W. Grygar, Vice President of Rates and Regulatory Affairs, 5444 
Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056-5306.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the 
Commission's rules of practice and procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a 
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-
environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the 
environmental aspects of the project. This preliminary determination 
typically considers such issues as the need for the project and its 
economic effect on existing customers of the applicant, on other 
pipelines in the area, and on landowners and communities. For example, 
the Commission considers the extent to which the applicant may need to 
exercise eminent domain to obtain rights-of-way for the proposed 
project and balances that against the non-environmental benefits to be 
provided by the project. Therefore, if a person has comments on 
community and landowner impacts from this proposal, it is important 
either to file comments or to intervene as early in the process as 
possible.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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.
    Comment Date: March 11, 2004.

Secretary.
