[Docket No. RP06-540-000]

 
High Island Offshore System, L.L.C., Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

September 5, 2006.
    Take notice that on August 31, 2006, High Island Offshore System, 
L.L.C. (HIOS) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed in Appendix A to the 
filing, to become effective October 1, 2006.
    HIOS states that the proposed rate changes result in an increase of 
$13.8 million in total system revenues from jurisdictional service 
based on the 12-month base period ending June 30, 2006, as adjusted for 
known and measurable changes through the nine month test period ending 
March 31, 2007. HIOS further states that the rate change is necessary 
to compensate HIOS for increases in its operating costs, depreciation 
expense, and negative salvage expenses and to provide a reasonable 
management fee. HIOS notes that the rate change is also needed to 
recognize significant reductions in transportation throughput. HIOS 
also proposes to implement certain firm service enhancements applicable 
to future services. Finally, HIOS is proposing a new Rate Schedule FT-
3, using a term-differentiated rate design.
    HIOS states that a full copy of its filing is being served on all 
jurisdictional customers, applicable state commissions and interested 
parties that have requested service.
    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 in accordance with the provisions of 
section 154.210 of the Commission's regulations (18 CFR 154.210). 
Anyone filing an intervention or protest must serve a copy of that 
document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on 
or before the intervention or protest date need not 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
