Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Application To Amend 
Certificate

June 27, 2008.
    Take notice that on June 20, 2008, Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC 
(Cameron Pipeline) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
an application under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act to amend its 
existing certificate of public convenience and necessity. The 
application seeks authority for Cameron Pipeline to increase the 
maximum authorized certificated capacity of its facilities and to 
revise its transportation rates, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to the public 
for inspection.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail

    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 for 
Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
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 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    In this application, Cameron Pipeline seeks (i) to increase the 
maximum authorized firm capacity of Cameron Pipeline's facilities to 
2.35 Bcf per day from the currently-authorized level of 1.5 Bcf per 
day; and (ii) approval of revised maximum transportation rates that 
reflect both the proposed new level of authorized capacity and updated 
construction costs. The estimated cost of construction of Cameron 
Pipeline's facilities, (36.5 miles of 42-inch pipeline, 
interconnections, metering and appurtenant facilities) and is now about 
$195 million, an increase of $80 million from the estimate provided in 
its previous amendment in 2006. Cameron Pipeline says that its request 
for an increase in authorized capacity will align the maximum 
authorized capacity with the actual firm capacity of Cameron Pipeline's 
facilities, when they are completed and placed into service. Cameron 
Pipeline proposes that its maximum interruptible and firm 
transportation rates be decreased from the levels previously approved 
by the Commission. Specifically, Cameron Pipeline proposes that the 
maximum interruptible rate will decrease from $.0528 to $.0447, and the 
maximum firm rate will decrease from $1.6056 to $1.3607.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 notices, 
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 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.
    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on July 18, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
