regulations, filed to amend its certificate. The request would approve 
construction of the proposed Tontitown Project (Project), consisting of 
a new 16-mile 24-inch diameter natural gas pipeline in Logan and 
Franklin Counties, Arkansas between the new 10,310 horsepower Poteau 
compressor station, near the city of Poteau in Le Flore County, 
Oklahoma and the Southwestern Electric Power Company's Harry D. 
Mattison Power Plant located in Tontitown, Arkansas. Project facilities 
would cost about $52.3 million. CEGT requests Commission issuance of 
all necessary authorizations on or before May 1, 2008, to enable CEGT 
to construct and place Project facilities in operation by December 
2008.
    Questions concerning this application should be directed to

Transmission Company, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Lousiana 71151, or by

    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule

the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for

subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.

intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date.
