CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of 
Application

November 20, 2008.
    Take notice that on August 19, 2008, CenterPoint Energy Gas 
Transmission Company (CenterPoint), P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, 
Louisiana 71151, filed in Docket No. CP08-463-000, an abbreviated 
application pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, seeking 
authorization (1) to transfer a passive ownership interest in its Line 
CP-3 and to leaseback Line CP-3 from the passive owner, and (2) to 
grant CenterPoint certificate authorization to operate a 600-foot non-
jurisdictional pipeline and metering facilities that will be leased 
from the same passive owner as part of its jurisdictional pipeline 
system.
    The application is on file with the Commission and open for public 
inspection. This application 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

Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866)208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this abbreviated application may be 
directed to Lawrence O. Thomas, Director--Rate & Regulatory, 
CenterPoint, at (318) 429-2804, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 
71151.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
CenterPoint's request. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status 
by becoming a party to this proceeding should, on or before the comment 
date listed 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 this filing and all 
subsequent filings made with the

[[Page 72785]]

Commission and must mail a copy of all filing 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, other persons do 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 CenterPoint's 
request. 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 this 
project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties 
directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only in support of or in opposition to 
CenterPoint's request should submit an original and two copies of their 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. The Commission's rules 
require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the applicant. However, the 
non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by 
other parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right 
to seek court review of the Commission's final order.
    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.
    Comment Date: November 26, 2008.

Secretary.
