Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C.

(Destin), Post Office Box 2563,

pipeline extension and appurtenant

facilities in the Mississippi Canyon area

of the Gulf of Mexico, to serve as gas

forth in the application on file with the

Destin proposes to install and operate

approximately 31 miles of 24-inch

Platform to a sub-sea tie-in to be located

near the Main Pass Block 279 Platform,

all in Federal Waters, Gulf of Mexico,

are designated the Gemini Expansion
