[Docket No. CP09-23-000]


CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

November 21, 2008.
    Take notice that on November 14, 2008, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 
77002, filed in Docket No. CP09-23-000, a prior notice request pursuant 
to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
abandon in place certain segments of Line K, a low-pressure delivery 
lateral, located in Ouachita and Union Counties, Arkansas and Union 
Parish, Louisiana, 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 number excluding the last three 
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, CEGT proposes to abandon in place three segments of 
its existing Line K pipeline comprising approximately 19 miles of pipe 
and appurtenant facilities including valves and rectifiers. CEGT first 
proposes to abandon approximately 11.0 miles of 16-inch diameter 
pipeline (Segment One); the next segment is approximately 1.3 miles of 
12-inch diameter pipeline (Segment Two), located in Ouachita County, 
Arkansas; and the final segment of Line K is approximately 6.7 miles of 
12-inch diameter pipeline, located in Ouachita and Union Counties, 
Arkansas. CEGT states that it has determined that it is not economical 
to continue to own and operate certain Line K segments identified 
herein, and abandonment of these pipeline segments will allow CEGT to 
reduce operating costs. CEGT asserts that no customer service will be 
terminated by the proposed abandonment of these segments of Line K.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Lawrence O. Thomas, Director, Rate & Regulatory, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company, P.O. Box 21743, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, at 
(318) 429-2804 or (318) 429-3133 (facsimile).
    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.
