Commission
[Docket No. CP18–116–001]
Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice
of Request for Extension of Time
Take notice that on May 5, 2023,
Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas
Gas) requested that the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission)
grant an extension of time, until June
26, 2025, to abandon certain pipeline
facilities, including all related
appurtenant and auxiliary facilities,
originally authorized in the June 26,
2018 Order Approving Abandonment
under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act
and part 157 of the Commission’s
regulations (June 26, Order).1 Ordering
Paragraph (B) of the June 26 Order
provided a deadline of June 26, 2019, to
complete abandonment of the facilities.
In its original application, Texas Gas
proposed to abandon in-place
approximately 11.0 miles of its 16-inchdiameter North Lake Pagie (NLP)
pipeline and approximately 5.7 miles of
its 16-inch-diameter Bay Junop-Bay
Round (BJB) pipeline. In addition, Texas
Gas proposed to abandon by removal
two platforms including associated
risers, piping, and appurtenances,
appurtenant rock and concrete, two
meters, and timber bulkheads and
bulkhead signs at 33 locations along the
pipeline right-of-way. The facilities are
located approximately 22.1 miles
southwest of Houma, Louisiana,
extending offshore in Terrebonne
Parish, Louisiana, as part of Texas Gas’
Southeast Supply Lateral.2
On June 5, 2019, Texas Gas filed a
request for an extension of time, until
December 1, 2020, to complete
abandonment activities, so as to
continue ongoing landowner
negotiations and to obtain the necessary
environmental permits within the
appropriate construction season. On
June 10, 2019, the Commission granted
an extension of time for one year, until
and including June 26, 2020, to
complete the abandonment activities.3
On May 26, 2020, Texas Gas filed a
request for a further one-year extension
of time, to June 26, 2021, to complete
abandonment activities. Texas Gas
stated that this extension of time would
allow Texas Gas to complete ongoing

landowner negotiations and to obtain
the necessary environmental permits for
the project. The Commission granted
that extension of time on June 17, 2020.4
On April 12, 2021, Texas Gas filed
another request for extension of time for
an additional two years to complete its
project originally authorized in the June
26 Order. Texas Gas requested an
additional extension of time, until June
26, 2023, to complete abandonment
activities authorized in the above
referenced docket. Texas Gas stated that
the extension was required to complete
abandonment activities, continue
ongoing landowner/agency negotiations,
and to obtain the outstanding Coastal
Use Permit to abandon the NLP/BJB
pipeline. The Commission granted that
extension of time on May 12, 2021.5
In this latest filing, Texas Gas now
states that they have faced obstacles in
securing agreeable terms with agencies
and landowners to secure a Coastal Use
Permit. Texas Gas also states that new
species have been listed by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that may
be affected within the proposed project
area and will require re-consultation
with USFWS. Therefore, Texas Gas is
requesting an additional two-year
extension to address these issues.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar
day intervention and comment period
deadline. Any person wishing to
comment on the applicant’s request for
an extension of time may do so. No
reply comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal
status by becoming a party to the
proceedings for this request, you
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file 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 Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).6
As a matter of practice, the
Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to
complete construction for Natural Gas
Act facilities when such requests are
contested before order issuance. For
those extension requests that are
contested,7 the Commission will aim to
issue an order acting on the request
within 45 days.8 The Commission will
address all arguments relating to
whether the applicant has demonstrated
there is good cause to grant the
extension.9 The Commission will not
consider arguments that re-litigate the
issuance of the certificate order,
including whether the Commission
properly found the project to be in the
public convenience and necessity and
whether the Commission’s
environmental analysis for the
certificate complied with the National
Environmental Policy Act.10 At the time
a pipeline requests an extension of time,
orders on certificates of public
convenience and necessity are final and
the Commission will not re-litigate their
issuance.11 The OEP Director, or his or
her designee, will act on all of those
extension requests that are uncontested.
