CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of
Request Under Blanket Authorization
Take notice that on May 22, 2012, CenterPoint Energy Gas
Transmission Company, LLC (CenterPoint), 1111 Louisiana Street,
Houston, Texas, pursuant to its blanket certificate issued in Docket
Nos. CP82-384-000, et. al., filed an application in accordance to
sections 157.210 and 157.217(b) of the Commission's Regulations under
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, to replace compression facilities
at the Ruston Storage Compressor Station located in Lincoln Paris,
Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is on

The Ruston Storage Compressor Station (Ruston) was constructed in
1969 and consists of one 4,000 horsepower (hp) Worthington MLV-14
reciprocating compressor unit which was originally installed over 40
years ago. CenterPoint has determined that Ruston needs additional
operating flexibility to dedicate compression directly to storage
injection and since CenterPoint can no longer purchase replacement
parts for the existing compressor unit, CenterPoint proposed to replace
the Worthington unit with a 4,735 hp CAT unit, comprised of a skid-
mounted control enclosure, fuel gas metering skid, and appurtenant
facilities. The proposed replacement will (1) increase Line F's
available year-round, firm capacity east of Ruston, from 147.4 MMcf/day
to 162.5 MMcf/day; (2) increase Ruston's injection deliverability from
33 MMcf/day to 34.5 MMcf/day; and (3) increase Line F's available peak
day capacity east of Ruston, from 286.4 MMcf/day to 291.3 MMcf/day. The
proposed replacement will not result in any changes to the certificated
parameters of the Ruston Storage Field. The estimated cost of the
proposed project is $13.9 million, which will be financed by available
funds and/or short-term borrowings.
Any questions concerning this application may be directed to B.
