    Take notice that on June 20, 2007, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 
77002-5231, filed in Docket No. CP07-404-000, a prior notice request 
pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for 
authorization to replace an existing delivery lateral and increase the 
line's maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP), located in Ouachita 
and Union Counties, Arkansas, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public

    Specifically, CEGT proposes to replace approximately 24.9 miles of 
Line E, a 12-inch diameter mechanically-coupled pipeline, with 
approximately 24.9 miles of 12-inch steel welded pipe, install a 10-
inch interconnect between Line E and Line SM-23, and install auxiliary 
facilities including pig launcher and receiver facilities, a 6-inch 
check meter station and 4-inch regulator, and all other appurtenant 
facilities necessary. CEGT also requests authorization to increase the 
MAOP of the proposed replacement segment of Line E from 415 psig to 800 
psig. CEGT states that the MAOP increase will enable Line E to operate 
up to Line SM-23's current MAOP of 800 psig. CEGT estimates the cost of 
construction to be $17,717,876.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to

Transmission Company, P. O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, or

intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
