natural gas pipeline, Line No. 614,
located in Federal waters, offshore
Louisiana, South Marsh Island Blocks

has shifted as much as 1,800 feet to the
west from its original position to within
7 feet of a production platform located
in South Marsh Island Block No. 122.
ANR is proposing to offset the 24-inch
line a minimum of 500 feet in all
directions from the platform to provide
appropriate clearance for production

time allowed therefore, the proposed
activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the
time allowed for filing a protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn
within 30 days after the allowed time
for filing a protest, the instant request
shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of
the NGA.
Persons who wish to comment only
