Mississippi Hub, LLC; Notice of Filing

April 15, 2009.
    On April 7, 2009, Mississippi Hub, LLC (MS Hub), pursuant to 
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authorization to expand 
the MS HUB Gas Storage Project (Expansion) previously certificated in 
CP07-4-000, et al. on February 15, 2007, as amended, in Covington, 
Jefferson Davis, and Simpson Counties, Mississippi. MS Hub proposes to 
increase the total capacity of each of its two authorized caverns by 
2.38 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) (1.5 Bcf working gas and 0.88 Bcf cushion 
gas); increase the maximum injection and withdrawal rate of the storage 
facility; add four 7,700 horsepower (hp) compressor units in lieu of 
three 5,000 hp compressor units previously authorized; and, construct 
14.2 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline and 22.6 miles of 30-inch 
diameter pipeline interconnects. MS Hub requests a finding that after 
the Expansion, the storage project's operation will not exercise market 
power so that market-based rates may continue to be charged for these 
services.
    Questions concerning this application may be directed to William 
Rapp, Liberty Gas Storage, 101 Ash Street, San Diego, CA 92101, at 
(619) 699-5050.
    On September 15, 2008, the Commission staff granted MS Hub's 
request to utilize the Pre-filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF08-
29-000 to staff activities involving the Expansion. Now, as of the

be conducted in the Dockets noted in the caption to this Notice.
    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:
