[Docket No. CP04-355-000]


CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of 
Application

June 15, 2004.
    Take notice that on June 7, 2004, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 
77002-5231, filed in Docket No. CP04-355-000 an application pursuant to 
section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval 
to abandon, in place and by sale, certain facilities located in Caddo 
Parish, Louisiana. CEGT further requests a finding that the facilities 
to be sold to Moransco Energy Corporation (Moransco), the purchasing 
party, would be exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction when operated 
as part of Moransco's gathering system, all as more fully set forth in 
the application. 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 ``e-Library'' 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 at [email protected] or toll free, (866) 208-3676, or 
TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this request may 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.
    Specifically, CEGT proposes to abandon its Line RM-1 and 
appurtenant facilities, and in conjunction with the proposed 
abandonment, sell an approximately 2-mile segment of Line RM-1 to 
Moransco, a local natural gas producer.
    CEGT states that it is uneconomical for CEGT to continue to operate 
this segment of the Line RM-1. CEGT states further that the abandonment 
would have no material impact on CEGT's cost of service nor would it 
result in or cause any interruption, disruption, or termination of the 
transportation service presently rendered by CEGT.
    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 file on or 
before the date listed below with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First

[[Page 35016]]

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. 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.
    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.
    Comment Date: July 6, 2004.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
