Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization; Gulf South 
Pipeline Company, LP

    Take notice that on December 20, 2019, Gulf South Pipeline Company, 
LP (Gulf South), 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046, 
filed a prior notice application pursuant to sections 157.205(b), 
157.208(c), 157.210, and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 
and Gulf South's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-430-000. 
Gulf South requests authorization to improve the efficiency and 
reliability of its McComb Compressor Station located on Gulf South's 
Index 130 mainline in Walthall County, Mississippi, all as more fully 
set forth in the application, which is open to the public for 
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at https://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Gulf South proposes to (1) retire in-place one of the 
seven existing reciprocating compressor units (Unit 3) at the station, 
as it has suffered mechanical damage; (2) install one new Solar Taurus 
70-T10802S Centrifugal Compressor (T70) package, including its required 
ancillary, auxiliary equipment and yard and station piping; and (3) 
place three of the six remaining reciprocating compressor units on 
standby.
    Gulf South states, that only three existing reciprocating gas 
compressors are operated with the T70 during the station's full load 
capacity, all located in Walthall County, Mississippi. The proposed 
modifications will result in an increase of certificated capacity of 
48,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) from Harrisville receipts on Index 
130 to deliveries on Gulf South's existing 24-inch Index 133 system. 
One primary improved point would be Gulf South's

214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for

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 the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments

commenter will not receive copies of all documents filed by other 
parties or 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 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the
