    Southern Star states that the proposed 20-inch replacement will be 
constructed beginning at the end of an existing 20-inch loop pipeline 
and continuing in an eastward direction for approximately 5.7 miles. 
Southern Star asserts that after the proposed construction is 
completed, approximately 5.7 miles of the 12-inch XT pipeline will be 
abandoned either in place or by reclaim. Southern Star estimates the 
cost of construction to be $7,389,273.
    Southern Star declares that the replacement pipeline will improve 
reliability and offer flexibility on its system. Southern Star states 
that the replacement does not provide any additional firm capacity 
upstream.
