Golden Pass Pipeline LP; Notice of Application

August 21, 2006.
    Take notice that on August 11, 2006, Golden Pass Pipeline LP (GPPL) 
filed in Docket No. CP04-400-002 an application seeking to amend the 
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued July 6, 2005, in 
Docket No. CP04-400-000, as amended in Docket No. CP04-400-001. 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. The previous amendment 
application, still under review by the Commission, seeks authorization 
to alter the size and route of the southern 43 miles of pipeline.
    GPPL now requests authorization to make certain variations in the 
design of the proposed pipeline. The new design component would replace 
the approximately 35-mile northern segment of 36-inch diameter pipeline 
with a 42-inch diameter pipeline from the AEP Texoma interconnect site 
to the terminus of the pipeline at an interconnect with 
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation near Starks, LA.
    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 
access the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support 
at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or for 
TTY, contact (202) 502-8659. Any initial questions regarding these 
applications should be directed to Mrs. Gina M. Dickerson, 17001 
Northchase Drive, Houston, Texas, 77060. Phone: (281) 654-4816.
    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 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

[[Page 51595]]

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. EST on September 11, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
