[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 [email protected] 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.

the proceedings for this project should, on or before the below listed
