Specifically, West Texas and Reef request the Commission to issue an

Page 32318

order: (1) Transferring Reef's NGA section 3 authorization to West

Texas for the operation and maintenance of facilities used to export natural gas at the International Border near Eagle Pass, Maverick

County, Texas, to Coahuila, Mexico; and (2) authorizing the assignment of Reef's May 30, 2002, Presidential Permit for the operation and maintenance of facilities at the Coahuila, Mexico/Texas export point.

The export facilities consist of approximately 400 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline extending from certain intrastate pipeline facilities in Texas to an interconnection with pipeline facilities owned by

Compania National de Gas, S.A. (Conagas) in Coahuila, Mexico. West

Texas would continue to operate and maintain these border crossing facilities in its own name rather than as Reef. West Texas and Reef state that no new facilities would be constructed.

West Texas and Reef state that the border facilities will remain in place and operation following the requested transfer and assignment.

West Texas and Reef also state that the border crossing facilities would be used for transportation services subject to the jurisdiction of the Texas Railroad Commission.
