Trunkline LNG Company, LLC; Notice of Filing

April 10, 2006.
    Take notice that on March 31, 2006, Trunkline LNG Company, LLC 
(Trunkline LNG), P.O. Box 4967, Houston, Texas 77210-4967, filed an 
application, pursuant to section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
part 157 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, requesting 
authorization to construct and operate Ambient Air Vaporization (AAV) 
facilities, and natural gas liquids (NGL) processing equipment at 
Trunkline LNG's liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal near Lake Charles, 
Louisiana. Collectively, these facilities are known as the 
Infrastructure Enhancement Project (IEP). 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 AAV facilities will allow Trunkline LNG to regasify LNG by 
using the surrounding air temperature. This method will reduce the 
amount of fuel that is used by the existing Submerged Combustion 
Vaporizer (SCV) facilities. Currently, Trunkline LNG uses approximately 
1.6% of sendout capacity as fuel for the existing SCV facilities. The 
proposed vaporization facilities will not increase the terminal's 
certificated sendout capacity of 2.1 Bcf/day. The NGL processing 
equipment will have the capability to extract ethane, and other heavier 
hydrocarbons from half of the terminal's daily sendout before the gas 
is sent to the pipeline and then delivered to downstream markets. The 
construction and operation of the proposed facilities will occur 
entirely within the existing Trunkline LNG's terminal site. Trunkline 
LNG estimates that the total capital cost of constructing the IEP 
facilities will be $273.8 million including AFUDC. Trunkline LNG 
proposes a recourse reservation rate of $1.2616 per Dt for service 
under proposed Rate Schedule FAV, using design units based on the 
sendout capacity associated with the IEP facilities. Trunkline LNG 
proposed to construct and place the IEP facilities in service by August 
2008.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to 
William W. Grygar, Vice President of Rates and Regulatory Affairs, 5444 
Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056-5306; phone number (713) 989-
7000.
    Any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to 
the proceedings for this project should, on or before the below listed 
comment date, 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 filings made with the 
Commission and must mail a copy 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper, see, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
