Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the
Commission’s regulations, requesting
authorization to construct and operate a
new compressor station and associated
pipeline lateral located in Cass County,
Texas (Gulf Coast Expansion Project).
Natural is also requesting authorization
to abandon two compressor units at its
Compressor Station 301 in Wharton
County, Texas, all as more fully set forth
in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open for public
inspection.
Natural proposes to provide long-term
firm transportation service to two
shippers that have subscribed to the
capacity created by the Project. The
Project capacity is developed through
the integration of existing capacity and
expansion capacity of 240,000 Dth/day
which will enable Natural to transport
460,000 Dth per day of natural gas
supplies to an existing delivery point
and a new delivery point in the South
Texas Gulf Coast area. The project
shippers have elected negotiated rates.
Natural proposes to construct a new
15,900 horsepower compressor station
on its Gulf Coast Line, and a new 4,000foot, 30-inch lateral to connect the
proposed compressor to Natural’s
existing A/G Line. Natural also proposes
to abandon 5,600 hp of existing
compression on its system. Total cost of
the project is $69,399,000.

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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
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.
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
7 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

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 5 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
