[Docket No. CP07–116–000] 

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice 

of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

March 29, 2007. 

Take notice that on March 27, 2007, 

El Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG), 

Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, 

Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No. 

CP07–116–000, a prior notice request 

pursuant to §§ 157.205 and 157.208 of 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act for authorization to 

increase the maximum allowable 

operating pressure (MAOP) of the 

Slaughter Plant Line (Line No. 3000), 

originating in Cochran County, Texas 

and terminating in Hockley County, 

Texas, all as more fully set forth in the 

application, which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing may also be 

viewed on the Web 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, contact FERC at 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202) 

502–8659. 

Specifically, EPNG proposes to 

increase the MAOP on Line No. 3000, 

consisting of approximately 2.74 miles 

of 123⁄4 inch diameter pipeline, from a 

current MAOP of 744 psig to 780 psig 

and to thereafter operate Line No. 3000 

at pressures up to and including the 

higher MAOP. EPNG states that the 

increase of the MAOP will allow EPNG 

certain operational flexibility and will 

have a de minimus effect on the current 

capacity of Line No. 3000. EPNG asserts 

that the cost of increasing the MAOP 

will be zero because existing test data 

for Line No. 3000 derived from a past 

pressure test and other historical 

information met the requirements to 

increase the MAOP to 780 psig. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to 

Richard Derryberry, Director, Regulatory 

Affairs Department, El Paso Natural Gas 

Company, Post Office Box 1087, 

Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, or 

call at (719) 520–3782. 

Any person or the Commission’s Staff 

may, within 60 days after the issuance 

of the instant notice by the Commission, 

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR 

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice 

of intervention and, pursuant to 

§ 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 protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request shall be 

treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the Internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.

Notice of Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

March 29, 2007. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission or FERC) 

regulations contained in the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR Part 

380) [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 

47897], the Office of Energy Project’s 

staff (staff) reviewed a proposal to 

surrender the license for the Old 

Columbia Dam Project, and prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for this 

proposed surrender. In this EA, staff 

evaluates potential effects of the 

proposed surrender and finds that there 

would be no effects to aquatic or 

terrestrial resources, threatened or 

endangered species, recreation 

resources, or land use. The Commission 

also determined that the proposed 

surrender may adversely affect 

properties listed in the National Register 

due to the loss of Federal jurisdiction, 

and executed a Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOA) with the Tennessee 

State Historic Preservation Officer, 

pursuant to 36 CFR part 800.3 and 36 

CFR part 800.6 of the Advisory Council 

on Historic Preservation regulations
