Take notice that on January 20, 2006, Duke Energy Marketing America, LLC (DEMA), CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company (CEGT) and Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern River) tendered for filing a Joint Petition for Expedited Grant of Limited Waivers.

The requested waivers will enable the petitioners to effectuate the permanent transfer of one of DEMA's portfolios of Commission-regulated transportation capacity and associated upstream Canadian pipeline capacity DEMA's Prearranged Replacement Shippers or to some other third-party replacement shipper who may prevail in the capacity release bidding process.
