Specifically, Kinder Morgan
Louisiana requests authorization to
construct its proposed Louisiana
Pipeline Project which will consist of:
(1) About 132 miles of 42-inch pipeline
from the Cheniere Sabine Pass LNG
Terminal (Sabine LNG Terminal) in
Cameron Parish, Louisiana to a point of
interconnection with an existing
Columbia Gulf Transmission Company
VerDate Aug<31>2005
21:03 Sep 25, 2006
Jkt 208001
line in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana
(Leg 1); (2) about 1 mile of 36-inch
pipeline that will extend from the
Sabine LNG Terminal to a point of
interconnection with Natural’s existing
interstate pipeline located north of the
Terminal (Leg 2); and (3) about 2.3 miles
of 24-inch pipeline extending away
from Leg 1 (at about milepost 110) to the
existing Florida Gas Transmission
Company compressor station in Acadia
Parish, Louisiana.
Kinder Morgan Louisiana has entered
into precedent agreements with Chevron
U.S.A. and Total Gas Power North
America providing for firm
transportation service on its Louisiana
Pipeline Project away from the Cheniere
Sabine Pass LNG Terminal. To
effectuate such transportation service, in
part, Kinder Morgan Louisiana proposes
to lease firm capacity from Natural. By
leasing such capacity, Kinder Morgan
Louisiana will reduce the overall cost
and improve the efficiency of its
Louisiana Pipeline Project, as well as
lessen its environmental impact. Thus,
Kinder Morgan Louisiana also seeks
authorization to lease capacity of
200,000 Dth per day on the facilities of
Natural in southern Louisiana. The
estimated cost of the Louisiana Pipeline
Project is about $517 million, including
overhead, contingency, Section 2.55(a)
auxiliary installations and
reimbursement of facility costs to
interconnect pipelines.
On February 17, 2006, the
Commission granted Kinder Morgan
Louisiana’s request to utilize the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned
Docket No. PF06–16–000 to staff
activities involving its proposed
Louisiana Pipeline Project. Now, with
the filing of the Louisiana Pipeline
Project certificate applications, the
NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this Project
has ended. From this time forward, all
proceedings involving the Louisiana
Pipeline Project will be conducted in
Docket Nos. CP06–449, et al., as listed
above in the caption of this Notice.
As its part of the proposal, Natural
seeks authority to abandon 200,000 Dth/
d of firm capacity on its system by lease
to Kinder Morgan Louisiana on a longterm basis pursuant to the terms of a
capacity lease agreement between the
parties dated August 31, 2006. The
leased capacity will start at a point on
Natural’s Louisiana Line in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana where it will
interconnect with the Kinder Morgan
Louisiana’s Louisiana Pipeline Project.
The leased capacity will extend east
about 16 miles to a 24-inch lateral of
Natural that extends south to Johnson’s
Bayou, where Kinder Morgan Louisiana
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703

proposes two delivery points. The
leased capacity (200,000 Dth/d) will
also exist in the interconnection facility
between the Kinder Morgan Louisiana’s
Louisiana Pipeline Project and Natural’s
Louisiana Line, and in each of the two
delivery points to be built at Johnson’s
Bayou.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to
intervene in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission’s Rules
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations
under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A
person obtaining party status will be
placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and
will receive copies of all documents
filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit 14 copies
of filings made with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the
proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered.
The second way to participate is by
filing with the Secretary of the
Commission, as soon as possible, an
original and two copies of comments in
support of or in opposition to this
project. The Commission will consider
these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the
filing of a comment alone will not serve
to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. The Commission’s rules
require that persons filing comments in
opposition to the project provide copies
of their protests only to the party or
parties directly involved in the protest.
Comments, protests and interventions
may be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site under the
‘‘e-Filing’’ link at https://www.ferc.gov.
The Commission strongly encourages
intervenors to file electronically.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and 14 copies

Specifically, Kinder Morgan Louisiana requests authorization to
construct its proposed Louisiana Pipeline Project which will consist
of: (1) About 132 miles of 42-inch pipeline from the Cheniere Sabine
Pass LNG Terminal (Sabine LNG Terminal) in Cameron Parish, Louisiana to
a point of interconnection with an existing Columbia Gulf Transmission
Company line in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana (Leg 1); (2) about 1 mile
of 36-inch pipeline that will extend from the Sabine LNG Terminal to a
point of interconnection with Natural's existing interstate pipeline
located north of the Terminal (Leg 2); and (3) about 2.3 miles of 24-
inch pipeline extending away from Leg 1 (at about milepost 110) to the
existing Florida Gas Transmission Company compressor station in Acadia

Kinder Morgan Louisiana has entered into precedent agreements with
Chevron U.S.A. and Total Gas Power North America providing for firm
transportation service on its Louisiana Pipeline Project away from the

service, in part, Kinder Morgan Louisiana proposes to lease firm
capacity from Natural. By leasing such capacity, Kinder Morgan
Louisiana will reduce the overall cost and improve the efficiency of
its Louisiana Pipeline Project, as well as lessen its environmental
impact. Thus, Kinder Morgan Louisiana also seeks authorization to lease
capacity of 200,000 Dth per day on the facilities of Natural in
southern Louisiana. The estimated cost of the Louisiana Pipeline
Project is about $517 million, including overhead, contingency, Section
2.55(a) auxiliary installations and reimbursement of facility costs to
interconnect pipelines.
On February 17, 2006, the Commission granted Kinder Morgan
Louisiana's request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF06-16-000 to staff
activities involving its proposed Louisiana Pipeline Project. Now, with
the filing of the Louisiana Pipeline Project certificate applications,
the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this Project has ended. From this time
forward, all proceedings involving the Louisiana Pipeline Project will
be conducted in Docket Nos. CP06-449, et al., as listed above in the
caption of this Notice.
As its part of the proposal, Natural seeks authority to abandon
200,000 Dth/d of firm capacity on its system by lease to Kinder Morgan
Louisiana on a long-term basis pursuant to the terms of a capacity
lease agreement between the parties dated August 31, 2006. The leased
capacity will start at a point on Natural's Louisiana Line in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana where it will interconnect with the Kinder Morgan
Louisiana's Louisiana Pipeline Project. The leased capacity will extend
east about 16 miles to a 24-inch lateral of Natural that extends south
to Johnson's Bayou, where Kinder Morgan Louisiana proposes two delivery
points. The leased capacity (200,000 Dth/d) will also exist in the
interconnection facility between the Kinder Morgan Louisiana's
Louisiana Pipeline Project and Natural's Louisiana Line, and in each of
the two delivery points to be built at Johnson's Bayou.
There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to
intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to
have comments considered.
The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of
the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission
will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the
filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that
persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of
their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the
protest.
Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing''
link at https://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages
intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at https://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for
