Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572 RE: Registration of fuel oil/natural gas pipeline Dear Mr. Herrera, In November 2001, 1 delivered a completed pipeline registration form along with all required supporting documentation to the City of La Porte. In recent weeks I have tried to obtain a status of the registration request to no avail. The feedback from the city has been that the registration form and documentation cannot be located Due to the inability to locate the original submittal, I am resubmitting the registration form and support documents. I would like to request that this be processed expeditiously due to the delay in processing the original submittal. A copy of the original cover letter with a signed receipt is also attached. Reliant Energy HL&P ("HL&P) operates a fuel oil/natural gas pipeline in connection with the operation of its electric generating units. The City of La Porte granted HL&P a permit to construct this pipeline by Ordinance No. 915-H dated December 15, 1975. During the 1999 legislative session, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 7, which requires electric utilities like HL&P to separate their integrated utility business into three companies: a transmission and distribution utility, a retail electric provider, and a power generation company. In order to comply with this legislation, HL&P will transfer the fuel oil/natural gas pipeline to a new entity that will hold HL&P's Texas generating assets. In preparation for this transfer, Reliant Energy is registering the pipeline pursuant to Section 102- 233 of the La Porte Code of Ordinances. The information required by that section may be found in the attached registration form. Upon transfer of the pipeline to the new generating company, Reliant Energy will provide you with notice of the transfer and, if necessary, will update the information contained in the attached registration form. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 281.425.7300. Thank you for your attention to this matter. ncerely, David E.
