December 5, 2005.
    On November 22, 2005, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of 
America and the Natural Gas Supply Association filed a petition under 
Sec.  385.2087(a) of the Commission's regulations seeking a rulemaking 
to make certain regulatory and policy changes that they contend will 
improve the ability of the natural industry to ensure the adequacy of 
the interstate pipeline infrastructure.
    Specifically, the petition seeks a rulemaking to eliminate the 
exclusion of mainline expansions, underground storage enhancements, and 
LNG take-away facilities from blanket eligibility under Sec.  
157.202(b)(2)(ii)(C) and (D) of the Commission's regulations. They also 
request that the Commission revise the blanket dollar limits under 
Sec.  157.208(d) of the Commission's regulations to reflect updated 
project development and construction costs. Finally, they ask that the 
Commission issue a policy statement or rule to clarify that it would 
not constitute undue discrimination for a project's ``foundation 
shippers'' to receive favorable rate treatment compared with other 
shippers in the same project.
    The Commission has not yet determined whether the public interest 
would be served by conducting the rulemaking proposed by the 
petitioners and, in its discretion, brings this petition to the 
attention of the public. This notice is not a notice of proposed 
rulemaking, but merely provides the public with an opportunity to 
comment in writing on the question of whether the Commission should 
take further action on the petition. Any person desiring to be heard 
with reference to the petition should file comments on or before 
January 17, 2006.
    The petition is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Reference Room or may be viewed

    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
