ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of
Application
Take notice that on June 3, 2016, ANR
Pipeline Company (ANR), 700 Louisiana
Street, Suite 700, Houston, TX 77002–
2700, filed an application pursuant to
section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA), and Part 157 of the
Commission’s regulations, requesting
authorization to implement the
permanent and temporary abandonment
of certain facilities, horsepower, and
design capacity at its Grand Chenier
Compressor Station (CS), located in
Cameron Parish, Louisiana, all as more
fully set forth in the application which
is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
The filing may also be viewed on the
web at https://www.ferc.gov using the

number excluding the last three digits in

Any questions concerning this
application should be directed to Linda
Farquhar, Manager, Project
Determinations and Regulatory
Administration, ANR Pipeline
Company, 700 Louisiana Street, Suite
700, Houston, Texas 77002–2700, by
phone (832) 320–5685, or by email at
linda_farquhar@transcanada.com.
Specifically, ANR states that Grand
Chenier CS is currently certificated at
16,200 horsepower (HP) and has two
units, one rated at 8,100 HP and the
other ISO-rated at 9,700 HP. However,
ANR has determined that it can
continue to meet current transportation
requirements without compression at
the Grand Chenier CS. Thus, ANR
proposes to permanently abandon 6,500
HP of certificated horsepower at its
Grand Chenier CS. In order to effectuate
this, ANR proposes to abandon in place
its 8,100 HP compressor unit. In
addition, ANR proposes to temporarily
abandon the remaining certificated
9,700 HP and 192 million cubic feet per
day of design capacity for a period of up

to 36 months. ANR states that this
proposed temporary action will allow
ANR time to evaluate whether market
demand predicates the need to retain
this horsepower and to react quickly to
any changing market conditions in the
region. ANR states that the
implementation of the Project will not
impact ANR’s ability to serve existing
firm contracts.
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 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.
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 comment date
stated below, 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
5 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:37 Jun 20, 2016
Jkt 238001
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 strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and five copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline,
Inc.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Shidler Line Segment
Abandonment Project and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
PO 00000

discuss the environmental impacts of
the Shidler Line Segment Abandonment
Project proposed by Southern Star
Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern
Star). The project involves abandonment
of about 31.2 miles of 16-inch-diameter
natural gas pipeline and removal of
certain pipeline and aboveground
facilities in Osage County, Oklahoma.
The Commission will use this EA in its
decision-making process to determine
whether to authorize the project.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies on the project.
You can make a difference by providing
us with your specific comments or
concerns about the project. Your
comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. Your
input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to
evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send your comments so
that the Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before July 9,
2016.
If you sent comments on this project
to the Commission before the opening of
this docket on May 6, 2016, you will
need to file those comments in Docket
No. CP16–456–000 to ensure they are
considered as part of this proceeding.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives should
notify their constituents of this
proposed project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about
the acquisition of an easement for
temporary workspace or access roads to
abandon the facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually
acceptable agreement. However, if the
Commission approves the project, that
approval conveys with it the right of
eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings
where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state
law.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ is available for viewing on
