[Docket Nos. CP06-425-000 and CP06-426-000]

 
Discovery Producer Services LLC, Discovery Gas Transmission LLC; 
Notice of Filing

July 27, 2006.
    Take notice that on July 20, 2006, Discovery Producer Services LLC 
(DPS) and Discovery Gas Transmission LLC (Discovery) jointly filed an 
abbreviated application for the certificates of public convenience and 
necessity, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
Part 157 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, authorizing DPS to 
provide Discovery the use of capacity on DPS' non-jurisdictional 
gathering facilities through a capacity lease, to effectuate the 
transportation of natural gas received from Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern) for delivery to DPS' Larose processing plant and for 
ultimate delivery downstream into the interstate pipeline grid. 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.
    On October 11, 2005, the Commission granted the emergency 
authorization allowing DPS to deliver gas supplies received from Texas 
Eastern, into its 20-inch non-jurisdictional gathering line to 
Discovery's jurisdictional facilities for subsequent delivery to the 
Larose processing plant. Because of the threat of potential supply 
disruptions due to the storms in the Gulf Coast region remains an 
ongoing concern, DPS and Discovery request Commission authorization to 
make permanent the limited term emergency transportation service which 
will expire on November 30, 2006. DPS will make available capacity, up 
to 300,000 Dts per day, on DPS' 20-inch non-jurisdictional gathering 
line to Discovery. This proposed capacity will be provided to Discovery 
on an interruptible basis through a capacity lease arrangement (Lease 
Agreement). The service offered to Discovery through the Lease 
Agreement will be strictly ancillary to DPS' primary business of 
providing gathering, processing, treating, and compression services in 
Louisiana. DPS requests a limited jurisdiction certificate to permit 
Discovery's use of DPS' non-jurisdictional facilities without having 
DPS' gathering and processing facilities, and operations becoming 
subject to the Commission's jurisdiction and the full panoply of the 
NGA. The pipeline interconnects and facilities necessary to provide 
this transportation service already exist. No new facilities will be 
required.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to Kevin 
R. Rehm, Vice President, Discovery Producer Services LLC, Discovery Gas 
Transmission LLC, 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77056; phone 
number (713) 215-2694.
    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.
    Comment Date: August 17, 2006.

Secretary.
