[Docket No. CP09-29-000]


CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Amendment 
Application

December 17, 2008.
    On December 5, 2008, CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company 
(CEGT), pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, 
and part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, filed to amend its certificate. CEGT's application seeks 
authorization to install additional compressors at the Westdale and 
Vernon compressor stations located in Red River and Jackson Parishes, 
LA, respectively. The requested amendment (Phase IV) would increase 
Line CP capacity to 1.87 Bcf/d.
    Questions concerning this application should be directed to 
Lawrence O. Thomas, Director--Rate & Regulatory, CEGT, P.O. Box 21734, 
Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, or by calling (318) 429-2804.
    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.
    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.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
