Venice Gathering System, LLC; Notice of Filing

June 19, 2008.
    Take notice that on June 18, 2008, Venice Gathering System, LLC 
(VGS), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 4300, Houston, Texas 77002, filed an 
application, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
Part 157 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, requesting approval 
of the abandonment in-place of certain pipeline facilities currently 
operating as part of its offshore pipeline system, in Venice, Louisiana 
(VGS Lateral). The application is on file with the Commission and open 
for public inspection. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site 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, please 
contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free 
at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    The VGS Lateral is a 20-inch pipeline, 26.2 miles in length, from 
the South Timbalier 35-D Platform to a subsurface tie-in at the 26-inch 
pipeline in Grand Isle 71. The abandonment of the VGS Lateral also 
includes smaller laterals attached to the VGS Laterals. The VGS Lateral 
has deteriorated significantly, and was significantly damaged by 
Hurricane Rita in 2005. The facilities are no longer required by VGS to 
meet its service obligations, and all shippers who received service on 
the facilities during the last 18 months have consented to the proposed 
abandonment. The VGS Lateral will be flushed to remove all hydrocarbons 
and will be filled with inhibited seawater prior to final abandonment 
in-place.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to Cary 
F. Loughman, Venice Gathering System, LLC, 1000 Louisiana, Suite 4300, 
Houston, TX 77002; phone number (783) 584-1523 or by e-mail at
