Bridegline Holdings, L.P.; Notice of Application for Rate 
Approval

June 12, 2001.
    Take notice that on June 1, 2001, Bridgeline Holdings, L.P. 
(Bridgeline) filed an application for rate approval, pursuant to 
Section 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's regulations, proposing a 
system-wide maximum rate for interruptible transportation of $0.3700 
per MMBtu, and a maximum usage rate for firm transportation of $0.0849 
per MMBtu with a monthly reservation charge of $8.67 per MMBtu, for 
service under Section 311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA).

states it seeks authority to increase or decrease its maximum usage and 
reservation charges to satisfy shippers' needs or requests, so long as 
the combined usage and reservation charge does not exceed $0.3700 on a 
100% load factor basis.
    Bridgeline is an intrastate pipeline with facilities located wholly 
within the State of Louisiana. The facilities were acquired by merger 
from Louisiana Resources Pipeline Company Limited Partnership (LRP), 
effective March 15, 2000. On March 1, 1999, the Commission issued a 
letter order approving settlement rates under Section 311 for LRP's 
firm and interruptible transportation service, as well as Park N' Ride 
service. 86 FERC para.61,204 (1999) The order required that on or 
before June 1, 2001, LRP file an application for approval of the 
existing rates or to establish new rates. The current filing proposes 
increased transportation rates and states that Bridgeline will no 
longer offer Park N' Ride service.
    Pursuant to Section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), of the Commission's 
regulations, if the Commission does not act within 150 days of the date 
of the Petition's filing date, the rates proposed therein will be 
deemed to be fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount that 
interstate pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar services. 
The Commission may within such 150 day period extend the time for 
action or institute a proceeding in which all interested parties will 
be afforded an opportunity for written comments and the oral 
presentation of views, data and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All motions must be filed 
with the Secretary of the Commission on or before June 27, 2001. This 
petition for rate approval is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web 
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for

electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR
