point facilities in the State of Louisiana as described more fully in 
the request. CEGT further proposes to sell and transfer these 
facilities to CenterPoint Energy Louisiana Gas, a distribution division 
of CenterPoint Energy Gas Resources Corp, d/b/a, at the estimated net 
book value, which as of December 31, 2005 is $14,895.43. CEGT states 
that no services would be abandoned as a result of the proposed sale 
and transfer. Louisiana Gas, it is said, would own and operate these 
facilities as part of its distribution system.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a 
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as 
an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.
