Point Comfort Pipeline Company, L.P.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on June 10, 2005, Point Comfort Pipeline Company, 
L.P. (Point Comfort), Three Riverway, Suite 525, Houston, Texas 77056 
filed an application, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA), for authorization to construct, own and operate the Point 
Comfort Pipeline and related facilities, and for approval of its Pro 
Forma Tariff and proposed initial rates for service. Point Comfort also 
requests blanket certificates authorizing it to engage in certain 
routine activities under part 157, subpart F and for authority to 
transport natural gas under part 284, subpart G of the Commission's 
regulations.
    The Point Comfort Pipeline facilities would consist of an 
approximately 27-mile-long, 36-inch-diameter pipeline in Calhoun and 
Jackson Counties, Texas connecting the proposed Calhoun LNG import 
terminal (filed on March 18, 2005 in Docket No. CP05-91-000) to 
interconnects with interstate and intrastate pipelines and two 
industrial facilities located near the proposed pipeline route.
    The Point Comfort Pipeline facilities would also include two 
approximately 0.25-mile-long lateral pipelines, above ground pig 
launcher and receiver facilities, metering and regulation facilities 
and a supervisory control and data acquisition system. The Point 
Comfort Pipeline facilities are designed to transport a maximum average 
daily throughput of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas.
    This application is on file with the Commission and open to 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

    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 with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with

[[Page 36579]]

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. Unless filing electronically, 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.
    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 (http://www.ferc.gov) 
under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: July 8, 2005.

Secretary.
