Southern Natural Gas Company, Magnolia Enterprise Holdings, Inc.; 
Notice of Petition To Amend

October 15, 2008.
    Take notice that on October 2, 2008, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563 and Magnolia 
Enterprise Holdings, Inc. (MEHI), Ten Peachtree Place, Location 1466, 
Atlanta, Georgia 30309, filed in Docket No. CP08-5-001, a joint 
petition to amend the lease transaction approved by Commission order 
issued July 17, 2008, in Docket No. CP08-5-000. It is stated that the 
amendment of the lease would provide for both parties to terminate the 
lease prior to the end of the primary term in the event certain 
economic factors change; include the East Brunswick meter station and 
Macon Milledgeville No. 3 meter station as part of the leased 
facilities; and include nonconforming language in the Atlanta Gas Light 
Company (AGLC) Exhibit B to its firm service agreement which provides 
for the termination of the package of capacity relating to the lease 
coinciding with the expiration of the lease, all as more fully set 
forth in the petition to amend which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact 
FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 
208-3676; or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any initial questions regarding Southern's proposal in this 
petition should be directed to Patricia S. Francis, Senior Counsel, 
Southern Natural Gas Company, P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-
2563, or call (205) 325-7696. Any initial questions regarding MEHI's 
proposal in this petition should be directed to Shannon Omia Pierce, 
Senior Regulatory Counsel, AGL Resources, Inc., Ten Peachtree Place, 
15th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, or call (404) 584-3394.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
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 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 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 ``eFiling'' link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit the 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    Comment Date: November 5, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
