    Columbia Gulf proposes to construct two 1,775 horsepower skid-
mounted compressor units, for a total of 3,550 horsepower and 
approximately 200 feet of 20-inch diameter station piping and 
appurtenances at its existing Rayne Compressor Station in Acadia 
Parish, Louisiana. Columbia Gulf proposes to provide an additional 180 
MMcf/d of firm delivery capacity into Florida Gas Transmission Company, 
LLC's (FGT) system from Columbia Gulf's East Lateral system at the 
existing point of delivery to FGT, by increasing the operating pressure 
from 840 psig to 1008 psig, which is the authorized Maximum Allowable 
Operating pressure (the existing capacity will not increase). In 
addition, Columbia Gulf requests authorization to modify its existing 
point of delivery to FGT in Lafayette, Louisiana, by constructing an 
additional tap on its East Lateral Line 400 and a large meter and 
appurtenances. Columbia Gulf estimates the cost of construction to be 
$17.5 million.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to

    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 60 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
