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

    Gulf South proposes to abandon in approximately 11.5 miles of 20-
inch diameter pipeline which originates at a producer platform in 
Eugene Island Block 57 at the upstream connection to a meter station 
and appurtenances to a point of connection at a Eugene Island Block 32 
platform with an existing Gulf South offshore pipeline, including 
platform riser, pig receiver, and associated appurtenances. Gulf South 
states that it would abandon all of the 11.5 miles of pipeline in 
place, except for approximately 1,675 feet in the Atchafalaya Pass 
Fairway in Eugene Island Block 32, which Gulf South would remove. Gulf 
South also states that the facilities it proposes to abandon have been 
inactive since 2003 and their proposed abandonment would not affect or 
degrade service to Gulf South's existing customers, nor would it have 
an operational effect on Gulf South's system. Gulf South further states 
that it would cost approximately $2,326,500 to remove pipeline and 
appurtenant facilities in this proceeding.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to J. 
Kyle Stephens, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Gulf South Pipeline 
Company, LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046; 
telephone 713-479-8033 or by e-mail: [email protected].
