[Docket No. CP06-4-000]

 
CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of 
Application

October 18, 2005.

    Take notice that on October 11, 2005, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 
77002-5231, filed in Docket No. CP06-4-000 an application pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authorization to 
increase the certificated maximum shut-in reservoir pressure in its 
Ruston Storage facilities from 2,202 psia to 2,525 psia bottom hole. 
CEGT's proposal does not require any construction of new facilities or 
involve any ground disturbance, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be also viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov
 using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, 

contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Lawrence O. Thomas, Director-Rates & Regulatory, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, or 
call (318) 429-2804.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a 
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    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.

    Comment Date: November 8, 2005.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
