Blanket Authorization

July 25, 2006.
    Take notice that on July 19, 2006, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 
42301, filed in Docket No. CP06-424-000, a request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.208) for authorization to replace 
certain facilities and upon replacement, increase the maximum allowable 
operating pressure (MAOP) in the State of Kansas, under Southern Star's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000 pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public

    Southern Star proposes to replace approximately 7.25 miles of 12-
inch diameter pipeline with 10-inch pipe, a part of the Pittsburg 
Delivery Lateral or Line FD, located in Cherokee County, Kansas, and 
upon replacement, increase the MAOP from 260 psig to 720 psig, as 
described more fully in the request. Southern Star proposes to replace 
the entire 17.2 miles of pipe with 10-inch diameter pipeline in two 
phases over a two-year period. Southern Star states that the 
replacement project will include the installation of a pig launcher, 
which will allow for future cleaning and integrity testing of the 
lateral, when Phase II is completed with an associated pig launcher 
installed. Southern Star estimates the cost of the replacement project 
to be approximately $3,300,000.
    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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
David N. Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Southern Star Central 
Gas Pipeline, Inc., 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, or call
