Timbalier Block 175, Offshore Louisiana. Trunkline proposes to install
a pressure limiting device at the T-22 platform in order to prevent the
higher pressure from migrating into the downstream system.\2\ Trunkline
states that this increase in the MAOP will have no impact on
Trunkline's mainline system downstream of the T-22 platform. Trunkline
holds a blanket transportation certificate pursuant to Part 284 of the
Commission's Regulations issued in Docket No. CP86-586-000.\3\
