Golden Pass Pipeline LP; Notice of Application

April 26, 2006.
    Take notice that on March 31, 2006, Golden Pass Pipeline LP (GPPL) 
filed in Docket No. CP04-400-001 an application seeking to amend the 
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued July 6, 2005, in 
Docket No. CP04-400-000. That certificate issued pursuant to section 
7(c) of the NGA and part 157, subpart A of the Commission's 
Regulations, authorized construction and operation of facilities to 
transport natural gas originating from liquefied natural gas (LNG) 
receiving terminal to be located approximately 10 miles south of Port 
Arthur, Texas, and two miles northeast of the town of Sabine Pass, 
Texas.
    GPPL requests authorization to make certain variations in the 
design and routing of the proposed pipeline that would reduce its 
overall construction footprint. The new design component would replace 
the looped segment of 43 miles of two 36-inch diameter pipelines with a 
single 42-inch diameter pipeline from Golden Pass LNG Terminal to the 
AEP Texoma interconnection. The reroute component would relocate the 
route resulting in an approximately ten mile reduction in length of the 
pipeline.
    This application is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to

applications should be directed to Mrs. Gina M. Dickerson, 17001

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of

[[Page 25830]]

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 below listed comment date, 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed 
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: 5 p.m. eastern time on May 17, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
