    Take notice that on July 31, 2008, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC 
(Trunkline), 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056-5306, filed in 
Docket No. CP08-448-000, an application, as supplemented on August 11, 
2008, pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, to abandon by 
sale approximately 29 miles of 10-inch diameter pipeline and 
appurtenant facilities (the Quicksand Lateral facilities) to Enerfin 
Field Services LLC (Enerfin) in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, under 
Trunkline's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-84-000,\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Trunkline states that Enerfin would use the Quicksand Lateral 
facilities as part of its nonjurisdictional gathering system. Trunkline 
also states that the Quicksand Lateral facilities transported an 
average of 2MMcf of natural gas per day in 2007. Trunkline further 
states that it cost approximately $60,000 to upgrade the Quicksand 
Lateral facilities and approximately $220,000 in additional annual 
expenses to operate and maintain the facilities (which exceeds the 
estimated annual revenue). Additionally, Trunkline states that the 
Quicksand Lateral facilities do not have any long-term viability to 
Trunkline, and there is no foreseeable commercial development in the 
area to support retaining the facilities as part of Trunkline's 
pipeline system. Finally, Trunkline states that it would cost 
approximately $21,850,000 to replicate the Quicksand Lateral facilities 
based upon 2008 construction prices, and requests that the purchase 
price should remain confidential.
