[Docket No. CP08-58-000]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Prior Notice of 
Activity Under Blanket Certificate

January 24, 2008.
    Take notice that on January 18, 2008, Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (TGPL) filed a prior notice request pursuant to 
sections 157.205, 157.208 and 157.210 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) regulations under the Natural Gas Act, and 
TGPL's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-426, for 
authorization to replace three segments of mainline pipeline in Howard 
County, Maryland (MD).
    As a result of population density increases along TGPL's mainline, 
TGPL must upgrade three parallel segments of pipeline--Mainlines A, B 
and C--each approximately 0.377 miles long, in Howard County, MD. These 
replacements are required in order to ensure compliance with the United 
States Department of Transportation's (USDOT) regulations at 49 CFR 
192.611 and to maintain certificated service and the safety and 
reliability of TGPL's mainline. The replacement will take place in an 
area recently classified as meeting the USDOT Class 4 regulations, as 
defined at 49 CFR 192.5(b)(4). The estimated total cost of all pipeline 
replacements is approximately $9.6 million. TGPL's proposal is more 
fully described in the application that is on file with the Commission.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Bill 
Hammons LLP, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251 at (713) 215-2130.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after 
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 regulations under the 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 filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.

    Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. 
Such motions or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Applicant, on or before the comment date. It is 
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons 
other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link 
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
