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

202–862–1000.
Leaf River seeks: (1) A certificate of
public convenience and necessity that
would authorize Leaf River to construct,
own, operate and maintain a highdeliverability salt cavern gas storage
facility that will accommodate the
injection, storage and subsequent
withdrawal of natural gas for redelivery
in interstate commerce; (2) a blanket
certificate pursuant to Subpart G of 18
CFR Part 284 that will permit Leaf River
to provide open-access firm and
interruptible natural gas storage services
on behalf of others in interstate
commerce with pre-granted
abandonment of such services; (3) a
blanket certificate pursuant to Subpart F
of 18 CFR Part 157 that will permit Leaf
River to construct, acquire, operate,
rearrange and abandon certain facilities
following construction of the proposed
project; (4) authorization to provide the
proposed storage services at marketbased rates; and (5) approval of a pro
forma FERC Gas Tariff, under which
Leaf River will provide open-access
natural gas storage services in interstate
commerce.
Leaf River states that the Project will
include four storage caverns with a total
working gas capacity of 32 billion cubic
feet (Bcf), supported by cushion gas
capacity of 9.9 Bcf. Leaf River also states
that the Project will be capable of
withdrawing and delivering gas at a rate
of up to 2.5 Bcf per day and of receiving
and injecting gas at a rate of up to 1.0
Bcf per day. Leaf River proposes that the
Project will include a natural gas
pipeline header system to
interconnections with five interstate gas
transmission pipelines. Leaf River states
that the Project’s header system will
include dual bi-directional 24-inch
natural gas pipelines and a length of
single 24-inch gas pipeline, which will
follow the corridor to be occupied by
the proposed Gulf South Southeast
Expansion Project for about 37 miles.
Leaf River represents that construction
and operation of the Project will have
minimal impacts on the natural
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
environment and on adjacent
landowners.
Leaf River states that the market
power study included with its
Application demonstrates that Leaf
River will not have market power in any
relevant market. It asserts that the
Commission can therefore conclude that
Leaf River will be unable to charge or
collect rates for its services that exceed
just and reasonable levels. Leaf River
states that its proposed pipeline header
system will include no end-user
interconnections and will function
exclusively as the means by which Leaf
River provides storage and wheeling
services nominated by its customers.
Leaf River also requests that the
Commission waive the requirements of
(i) 18 CFR 157.6(b)(8) and 157.14(a)(13),
(14), (16), (17) (which relate to the filing
of information required to justify rates
on a cost-of-service basis, given that
Leaf River proposes to charge marketbased rates for the services it will
provide); (ii) 18 CFR 157.14(a)(10)
(which requires a showing regarding
accessible gas supplies that is not
applicable to a storage project to which
third parties will deliver their gas); (iii)
18 CFR 260.2 and Part 201 (accounting
and reporting requirements appropriate
for a cost-of-service rate structure); and
(iv) 18 CFR 284.7(e) and 284.10 (which
impose requirements relating to the
design of rates that are not applicable to
market-based rates).
Leaf River states that the Project
would provide necessary natural gas
infrastructure in furtherance of the
Commission’s policies supporting the
development of new natural gas storage
capacity. According to Leaf River, the
Project will increase the reliability of
natural gas supply during periods of
production and transportation
interruptions and will enhance the
reliability of the interstate pipeline grid.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, within 90 days of
this Notice the Commission staff will
either: Complete its environmental
assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission’s public record (eLibrary)
for this proceeding, or issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review. If
a Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review is issued, it will indicate, among
other milestones, the anticipated date
for the Commission staff’s issuance of
the final environmental impact
statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal.
The filing of the EA in the
Commission’s public record for this
proceeding or the issuance of a Notice
of Schedule for Environmental Review
will serve to notify federal and state
agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
PO 00000

the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
Any person desiring to intervene or to
protest this filing must file in
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214). Protests will be considered by
the Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but will
not serve to make protestants parties to
the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as
appropriate. Such notices, motions, or
protests must be filed on or before the
comment date. Anyone filing a motion
to intervene or protest must serve a copy
of that document on the Applicant. On
or before the comment date, it is not
necessary to serve motions to intervene
or protests on persons other than the
Applicant.
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

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

be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices,
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date.
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of
that document on the Applicant. On or before the comment date, it is
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons
other than the Applicant.
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.
The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the
[[Page 61127]]
``eFiling'' link at https://www.ferc.gov. 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.
Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time, November 14, 2007.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
