High Point Gas Gathering, L.L.C., High Point Gas Transmission, 
LLC; Notice of Joint Application for a Certificate of Public 
Convenience and Necessity and for a Limited Jurisdiction Certificate

    Take notice that on December 12, 2017, High Point Gas Transmission, 
LLC (HP Transmission) and High Point Gas Gathering, L.L.C. (HP 
Gathering), both at 2103 CityWest Blvd., Bldg. #4, Houston, TX 77042, 
filed an abbreviated joint application under section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations.
    In Docket No. CP18-27-000, HP Transmission seeks a certificate of 
public convenience and necessity authorizing it to:
    (i) Lease capacity on the non-jurisdictional facilities of HP 
Gathering to enable HP Transmission to provide transportation service 
for its shippers from Main Pass Block 289 Platform and then on to the 
Main Pass Block 260 Platform where HP Gathering interconnects with 
Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (Destin); and,
    (ii) amend its tariff to:
    (a) Allow HP Transmission to obtain interruptible off-system 
transportation service on other pipelines including interruptible 
transportation service on Destin;
    (b) specify that the transportation service provided by HP 
Transmission through utilization of the leased capacity on HP Gathering 
will be firm or interruptible transportation and of the transportation 
service on Destin will be interruptible service only;
    (c) include the initial incremental rates (including fuel, lost and 
unaccounted-for gas) to be paid by HP Transmission's shippers that 
utilize the HP Transmission service effected through the capacity 
leased from HP Gathering and, if desired, the interruptible service 
subscribed on Destin;
    (d) change the price index in its imbalance cash-out mechanism to 
add the price indices used by Destin to reflect markets that it serves; 
and
    (e) incorporate changes necessary to effectuate the transactions 
contemplated by this application, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    HP Transmission further requests waivers of certain Commission

regulatory requirements as set forth in the application.
    In Docket No. CP18-28-000, HP Gathering seeks a limited 
jurisdiction certificate to enable HP Gathering to lease 150,000 Dth 
per day of capacity on the relevant portion of the HP Gathering to HP 
Transmission while, at the same time, ensuring that the Commission's 
jurisdiction will be asserted only over the Capacity Lease Agreement 
and not its non-jurisdictional gathering facilities and services and 
that all Commission jurisdictional filing and reporting requirements 
that might otherwise apply to HP Gathering will be waived.
    Questions regarding this filing may be directed to Dennis J. Kelly, 
Senior Counsel of HP Transmission and HP Gathering at (720) 457-6076, 
2103 CityWest Blvd., Bldg. #4, Houston, TX 77042.

    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 proceeding for this project should 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, 385.211 (2016), by the comment date below. 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 filings made with the Commission by mail, hand delivery, or 
internet, in accordance with Rule 2001 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, id. 385.2001. A copy must be served on 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 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.
    Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the 
internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's website under the ``e-filing'' link. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal 
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue 
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's 
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying the 
requested authorizations will be issued.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, January 12, 2018.

    Dated: December 22, 2017.
Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr.,
Deputy Secretary.
