construct two 24-inch taps, approximately 0.4 miles of 24-inch pipe,

the re-vaporized gas. Golden Pass will install and own four 12-inch

Natural with a new receipt interconnect and allow Golden Pass to 
deliver up to 900 MMcf/day. The estimated cost of the project is 
approximately $2.5 million, and all costs associated with the project 
will be reimbursed by Golden Pass. The proposed in-service date for the 
interconnect facilities is September 1, 2008.
