The Project consists of construction and operation of new and modified facilities at the existing Compressor Station (CS) 302 located in Montgomery County, Texas and CS 343 located in Liberty County, Texas. The Project will create 300,000 dekatherms per day of incremental firm eastbound transportation capacity on NGPL’s existing mainline facilities along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast region. NGPL estimates the total cost of the Project to be $72 million. NGPL requests presumption of rolled-in rate treatment and proposes to establish an incremental fuel retention rate for firm transportation service to be provided on Project facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection. Specifically, NGPL proposes to install one new 18,340 horsepower (hp) Electric Motor Driven (EMD) compressor unit and to uprate existing EMD compressor Units 7 and 8 by 1,600 hp each at its existing CS 302. NGPL also proposes to re-wheel the existing compressor Units 7, 8, and 9 at CS 302 and Units 9 and 10 at its existing CS 343. Finally, NGPL will install various section 2.55(a) auxiliary facilities at CS 302 and CS 343, including additional gas cooling equipment, a motor control center building for new gas coolers and a new EMD compressor unit, a new filter separator, and station yard piping.

The Cumberland System power marketing policy was published on August 5, 1993, and is reflected in contracts for the sale of system power, which are maintained in Southeastern’s headquarters office. Pursuant to the Procedure for Public Participation in the Formulation of Marketing Policy, published in the Federal Register on July 6, 1978, Southeastern published on October 21, 2021, a notice of intent to revise the power marketing policy to include provisions regarding RECs from the Cumberland System. The proposed revision to the Cumberland System Power Marketing Policy was published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2023. A virtual web based public information and comment forum was held on June 29, 2023, with written comments due on or before July 14, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Southeastern published a ‘‘Notice of Issuance of Final Power Marketing Policy Cumberland System of Projects’’ in the Federal Register on August 5, 1993 (58 FR 41762). The policy establishes the marketing area for system power and addresses the utilization of area utility systems for essential purposes. The policy also addresses wholesale rates, resale rates, and conservation measures, but does not address RECs. Under Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), Southeastern, through delegated authority, is responsible for the transmission and disposition of electric power and energy from reservoir projects operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Furthermore, Southeastern must transmit and dispose of power and energy in such a manner as to encourage the most widespread use at the lowest possible rates to consumers consistent with sound business principles. Rate schedules are developed with regard to the recovery of the cost of producing and transmitting such electric energy. Southeastern’s authority to formulate the policy and perform the functions are derived from section 302(a) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76207 42 U.S.C. 7152. By Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–RATES–2016, effective November 19, 2016, the Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) the authority to develop power and transmission rates to the SEPA Administrator; (2) the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis, or to remand or disapprove such rates, to FERC. By Delegation Order No. S1– DEL–S3–2023, effective April 10, 2023, the Secretary of Energy also delegated the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Under Secretary for Infrastructure. By Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–SEPA1–2023, effective April 10, 2023, the Under Secretary for Infrastructure further redelegated the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to SEPA’s Administrator. The Cumberland System consist of nine projects: Barkley, Center Hill, Cheatham, Cordell Hull, Dale Hollow, Laurel, Old Hickory, J. Percy Priest, and Wolf Creek. The power from the projects is currently marketed to Preference Customers located in the service areas of Tennessee Valley Authority, Big Rivers Electric Corporation, Duke Energy Progress, East Kentucky Power Cooperative, Kentucky Utilities, Municipal Electric Agency of Mississippi, Mississippi Delta Energy Agency, the seven-member Cooperative Energy currently receiving Cumberland power, and Southern Illinois Power Cooperative. Southeastern has been using the Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS) provided through the PJM Interconnection, LLC, for the KerrPhilpott System of Projects. The attributes are unbundled from the megawatt-hour of energy produced and recorded onto a certificate. These certificates may be used by electricity suppliers and other energy market participants to comply with relevant state policies and regulatory programs and to support voluntary ‘‘green’’ electricity markets. Southeastern will use the similar M–RETS product for distributing certificates to current Preference Customers with allocations of power from the Cumberland System. Through this RECs tracking system Southeastern is capable of tracking environmental attributes used for voluntary claims in all state, provinces, and territories in North America. Under the following revision of the 1994 power marketing policy, Southeastern will distribute the M–RETS created certificates to current Preference E:\FR\FM\06NON1.SGM 06NON1

Illinois 60515, filed an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations 
requesting authorization for its Texas-Louisiana Expansion Project 
(Project). The Project consists of construction and operation of new 
and modified facilities at the existing Compressor Station (CS) 302 
located in Montgomery County, Texas and CS 343 located in Liberty 
County, Texas. The Project will create 300,000 dekatherms per day of 
incremental firm eastbound transportation capacity on NGPL's existing 
mainline facilities along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast region.

requests presumption of rolled-in rate treatment and proposes to 
establish an incremental fuel retention rate for firm transportation 
service to be provided on Project facilities, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
for public inspection.
    Specifically, NGPL proposes to install one new 18,340 horsepower 
(hp) Electric Motor Driven (EMD) compressor unit and to uprate existing 
EMD compressor Units 7 and 8 by 1,600 hp each at its existing CS 302. 
NGPL also proposes to re-wheel the existing compressor Units 7, 8, and 
9 at CS 302 and Units 9 and 10 at its existing CS 343. Finally, NGPL 
will install various section 2.55(a) auxiliary facilities at CS 302 and 
CS 343, including additional gas cooling equipment, a motor control 
center building for new gas coolers and a new EMD compressor unit, a 
new filter separator, and station yard piping.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the 
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
