and part 157, subpart A of the Commission's regulations to construct,

Telephone: (202) 986-8000.
    On May 30, 2006, the Commission staff granted SESH's request to 
utilize the Pre-Filing process and assigned Docket No. PF06-28-000 to 
staff activities involving the SESH Project. Now, as of the filing of 
this application on December 18, 2006, the Pre-Filing Process for this 
project has ended. From this time forward, these proceedings will be 
conducted in Dockets No. CP07-44-000, CP07-45-000, CP07-46 -000, and 
CP07-47-000 as noted in the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9 
and to ensure compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the 
Commission staff will issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental 
Review within 90 days of the date of this Notice. The Notice of 
Schedule for Environmental Review will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for SESH's and Southern 
Natural's proposal. The Notice will also alert other agencies of the 
requirement to complete necessary reviews and authorizations within 90 
days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS.
    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 below listed 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: January 18, 2007.

Secretary.
