    Any questions concerning this request may be directed to Jacques A. 
Hodges, Attorney, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 1001 Louisiana 
Street, Houston, Texas 77002, at (713) 420--5680 or Fax (713) 420-1601

    Tennessee states that Line 3A-100 is connected to Tennessee's 
parallel mainlines designated as Line No. 100-1 and 100-2. Tennessee 
asserts that the operating pressure of its mainline is 750 psig, but 
whenever the pressure on the mainline exceeds 700 psig, producers on 
the lateral must be shut in to avoid pressure buildup that exceeds the 
718 psig MAOP limit. Tennessee maintains that the proposed MAOP 
increase is needed so that Tennessee can consistently and reliably 
receive natural gas from the affected producers located on this 
lateral. Tennessee contends that the estimated project cost would be 
approximately $41,110.
    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 Section 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 therefore, 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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.

Linda Mitry,
Deputy Secretary.
