Trunkline Gas Company, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 31, 2008.
    Take notice that on January 23, 2008, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC 
(Trunkline), P. O. Box 4967, Houston, Texas 77210-4967, filed in Docket 
No. CP08-61-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205, 
157.210, and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to relocate an 
existing interconnect with Enbridge Pipeline (East Texas) L.P. 
(Enbridge), located in Hardin County, Texas, and increase the 
certificated capacity of Trunkline's North Texas transmission system by 
40 MMcf/d, 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''

    Specifically, Trunkline proposes to relocate the Enbridge Pipeline 
(East Texas) L.P. Meter Station from its current location at 
Trunkline's existing Kountze Compressor Station, located in Kountze, 
Hardin County, Texas, to a new location near Silsbee, Hardin County, 
Texas. Trunkline states that the relocation will increase the 
certificated capacity of Trunkline's North Texas transmission system 
expansion facilities by 40 MMcf/d. Trunkline asserts that the increase 
in capacity will benefit Trunkline's shippers. Trunkline declares that 
it will be able to receive, and, at the same time, Enbridge will be 
able to increase the volumes of natural gas being delivered to 
Trunkline for further transportation to natural gas markets. Trunkline 
proposes to relocate the Enbridge facilities located at the Kountze 
Compressor Station approximately 15 miles east and install and own two 
12-inch hot tap assemblies on existing 24-inch Lines 100-1 and 100-2, 
and install a 16-inch above-grade valve that will function as the 
overpressure protection device and RTU. Trunkline estimates the cost to 
relocate the meter station to be $983,040.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Stephen T. Veatch, Regulatory Affairs, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC, 5444 
Westheimer Road, Houston Texas 77056, call (713) 989-2024, fax (713) 
989-1158, or by e-mail [email protected].
    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 
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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
