Take notice that on October 4, 2019,
pursuant to Rule 207 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s
(Commission) Rules of Practice and

a petition for declaratory order (petition)
and for expedited action requesting that

interpreting the Natural Gas Act’s

maintain a [natural gas] pipeline’’ and
the ‘‘necessary land or other property, in
addition to right-of-way, for the location
of compressor stations [and other
associated equipment],’’ applies to
property in which a state holds an
interest; (2) in NGA Section 7(h),
Congress delegated the federal
government’s eminent domain authority
to certificate holders; and (3) in
delegating the federal government’s
eminent domain authority in NGA
Section 7(h), Congress necessarily
delegated to certificate holders the
federal government’s exemption from
claims of state sovereign immunity, all
as more fully explained in the petition.
