September 11, 2008.
    Take notice that on September 2, 2008, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(EPNG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed 
in Docket No.
    CP08-466-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205, 
157.208, and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to decrease the 
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressures (MAOP) of the Lakes Meter Station 
Line (Line No. 20108) and the Chandler Line (Line No. 2029) and to 
thereafter operate the lines at the lower MAOP, and abandon capacity on 
Line No. 2029, located in Maricopa County, Arizona, 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'' link. Enter the docket

    Specifically, EPNG proposes to decrease the existing MAOP of Line 
No. 20108 from 715 psig to 266 psig and Line No. 2029 from 650 psig to 
430 psig. EPNG also proposes to decrease the existing design capacity 
on Line No. 2029 from 34 MMcf/d to 27 MMcf/d. EPNG states that the 
proposed MAOP decrease will not impair EPNG's ability to meet its 
current contractual obligations on the two pipelines.

Richard Derryberry, Director, Regulatory Affairs Department, El Paso 
Natural Gas Company, Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado

    Any person 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. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file 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withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
