On February 27, 2012, the Merced
Irrigation District, licensee for the

expires, until the Commission acts on
its application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15
of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
an annual license for Project No. 2179
is issued to the licensee for a period
effective March 1, 2014 through

PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
available by a receipt point pressure
commitment from Enable Gas
Transmission, LLC (EGT) at SESH’s
Delhi, Louisiana interconnect with
EGT’s Line CP. This capacity is created
solely from the higher design delivery
pressure from EGT and does not require
any new facilities by EGT or SESH. In
consideration for EGT’s use of existing
compression facilities on its system to
satisfy its pressure commitment at the
Line CP Interconnect, SESH has agreed
to provide EGT with 1,300 dekatherms
per day of natural gas as fuel
reimbursement and is requesting
authorization to recover the fuel
reimbursement through its fuel tracker
mechanism. SESH also states that
25,000 dekatherms per day of the
additional capacity is under a precedent
agreement and related firm service
agreement under Rate Schedule FTS
with Southern Company Services, Inc.
for a primary term of approximately 10
years, scheduled to begin September 1,
2014; remaining 20,000 dekatherms per
day are available for subscription in
accordance with the provisions of
SESH’s FERC Gas Tariff. The company
states it is necessary to construct a new
Dentville Compressor Station
(November 1, 2015 in-service date) to
ensure that adequate delivery pressure
is available to maintain on a reliable,
long-term basis the operational
capabilities of the SESH/Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern)
Interconnect. SESH states that the
project will result in no subsidization
from existing shippers, and it is seeking
rolled-in rate treatment for the project.
SESH states the total estimated cost of
constructing the project is $47,876,821.
SESH and Texas Eastern have each
agreed to provide funding for fifty
percent (50%) of the cost of the
Dentville Compressor Station.
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
