Transmission Company (CEGT), 1111 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 
77002-5231, filed in Docket No. CP08-441-000 an application pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and on July 21, 2008, Texas 
Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, 
Houston, Texas 77056-5310, filed in Docket No. CP08-444-000 an 
application pursuant to section 7(b) of the NGA for an order granting a 
certificate of public convenience to authorize CEGT to acquire, by 
operating lease, 90,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of firm capacity 
from Texas Eastern on its Sligo Lateral Line 11-G (Sligo Lateral) in 
Bossier and Red River Parishes, Louisiana, all as more fully set forth

    CEGT and Texas Eastern state that the primary term of the Sligo 
Lease is five years, and the lease will remain in effect from year to 
year thereafter unless terminated by either party with at least 18 
months prior notice and necessary approvals from the Commission. Texas 
Eastern asserts that the lease capacity will be created by new 
compression that CEGT intends to construct under its blanket 
construction certificate. Texas Eastern states that granting the 
authorizations requested in the application will not increase Texas 
Eastern's system design capacity or affect the capacity available for 
service on the Texas Eastern system, nor will it affect Texas Eastern's 
existing tariffs.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to 
Lawrence O. Thomas, Director--Rates & Regulatory, CenterPoint Energy 
Gas Transmission Company, PO Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151 at

    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 comment date stated below, 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
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 Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: August 14, 2008.

Secretary.
