[Docket No. CP11-144-000]

El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on March 22, 2011, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El 
Paso), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, CO 80944, filed a prior 
notice request pursuant to sections 157.205(b) and 157.208(f) of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations and pursuant to El 
Paso's Part 157 blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-435-000. 
El Paso proposes to increase the certificated Maximum Allowable 
Operating Pressure (MAOP) of a 1.2 mile, 2-inch outer-diameter segment 
of pipe located in El Paso County, Texas. Specifically, El Paso 
requests authorization to increase the certificated MAOP of a segment 
of Line No. 2053 running from the El Paso-

[[Page 18757]]

Douglas Line to the U.S. Detention Prison from its currently 
certificated MAOP of 700 psig to 837 psig. El Paso avers the increase 
in MAOP will reduce operational and maintenance cost by eliminating the 
need to monitor and maintain pressure control and overpressure 
protection equipment. El Paso also states that there will be no effect 
to capacity on either the segment being increased or the remainder of 
Line No. 2053, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing
