September 12, 2007.
    Take notice that on September 6, 2007, Natural Gas Pipeline Company 
of America (Natural), 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148, 
filed in Docket No. CP07-446-000, a prior notice request pursuant to 
sections 157.205 and 157.210 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
increase the horsepower of one of the existing gas turbine compressor 
units at Compressor Station 342 (CS 342), located in Cameron Parish, 
Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may 
also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

FERC at [email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or

    Natural states that in order to create a degree of operational 
flexibility, compressor Unit 5 at CS 342 will be upgraded from 
4,200 horsepower to 5,280 horsepower at the same time it will be 
undergoing a routine overhaul. Natural asserts that the increase in 
horsepower will not increase mainline capacity nor will it change the 
design throughput capacity of CS 342. Natural estimates the cost of 
construction to be $545,000.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Bruce 
H. Newsome, Vice President, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America,

issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule

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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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
