Take notice that on March 27, 2007, El Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No. CP07–116–000, a prior notice request pursuant to §§ 157.205 and 157.208 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of the Slaughter Plant Line (Line No. 3000), originating in Cochran County, Texas and terminating in Hockley County, Texas, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

For assistance, contact FERC at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202) 502–8659. Specifically, EPNG proposes to increase the MAOP on Line No. 3000, consisting of approximately 2.74 miles of 123⁄4 inch diameter pipeline, from a current MAOP of 744 psig to 780 psig and to thereafter operate Line No. 3000 at pressures up to and including the higher MAOP. EPNG states that the increase of the MAOP will allow EPNG certain operational flexibility and will have a de minimus effect on the current capacity of Line No. 3000. EPNG asserts that the cost of increasing the MAOP will be zero because existing test data for Line No. 3000 derived from a past pressure test and other historical information met the requirements to increase the MAOP to 780 psig.
