Take notice that on May 14, 2010, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC (Natural), 3250 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, filed in Docket No. CP10-431-000, an application pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208, 157.211 and 157.212 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, to construct and operate facilities necessary to deliver natural gas to Bridgeline Holdings L.P. (Bridgeline) in Johnsons Bayou, Cameron Parish, Louisiana, under Natural's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-402-000,^[1] all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to the public for inspection.

Natural proposes to construct and operate a delivery interconnect off its UTOS Lateral in order to deliver natural gas volumes to Bridgeline. To accomplish this, Natural would construct and operate a 16-inch tap; approximately 530 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline; a metering platform; a dual 8-inch meter on the metering platform; and such other appurtenant facilities required to effect the interconnects to deliver up to 200,000 Dth/day of natural gas from its UTOS Lateral to Bridgeline. Natural further states that it would construct approximately 180 feet of 16-inch diameter interconnecting pipeline between the metering facilities located on the platform and the UTOS Lateral. Through the proposed piping, Natural would deliver natural gas from the platform and metering equipment to Bridgeline's existing pipeline system, where Bridgeline has already constructed the tap for this interconnection. Natural would also construct certain section 2.55(a) non-jurisdictional facilities, including a valve actuator, a meter tube outlet valve, an instrument building, cathodic protection for all piping and equipment. Natural also states that it would cost an estimated $6,100,000 to construct the proposed facilities.
