[Docket No. CP00-6-010]


Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

 July 29, 2003.
    On July 23, 2003, Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. 
(Gulfstream), 2701 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, Florida 33607, filed an 
application pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as 
amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
Rules and Regulations. Gulfstream requests authorization to extend the 
date that the previously certificated Phase II facilities must commence 
operation to February 21, 2006, and to phase the in-service date of the 
Phase II facilities so that some of the faculties comprising Phase II 
are placed in service earlier than the remainder of the Phase II 
facilities. Gulfstream states that the modifications are necessary due 
to changes in the Florida natural gas market, as more fully set forth 
in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov , using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll-free at (866) 208-3676 or for TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Gulfstream requests authority to: (1) Amend ordering Paragraph B of 
the Commission's Order Amending Certificate, 98 FERC ] 61,349 (2002), 
to allow phasing of the in-service date of the Phase II facilities; (2) 
modify the Phase II initial recourse rates to reflect updated 
construction costs and limited modifications to the Phase II 
facilities; (3) adopt its negotiated rate agreement with the Florida 
Power & Light Company (FPL); and, (4) increase the diameter of 
approximately five miles of pipeline facilities from 24 to 30 inches. 
The estimated cost of all construction is approximately $389,050,000. 
Gulfstream states that the completed facilities will provide 350,000 
dekatherms per day of long-term firm transportation service for two FPL 
electric power plant expansions. Gulfstream further states that full 
service to these plants is expected to commence by May 1, 2005, with 
initial deliveries for plant startup testing beginning by December 31, 
2004. Also, Gulfstream asks that requested authorizations be granted by 
October 15, 2003.
    Questions regarding the application may be directed to P. Martin 
Teague, Assistant General Counsel, Gulfstream Natural Gas System, 
L.L.C. , 2701 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, Florida 33607, or call (813) 
282-6609.
    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 proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date below, 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 or 385.211) and the 
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). 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 14 copies of 
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant 
and to 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 in order 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.
    Comments, 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 Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. The 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. Comment Date: August 
19, 2003.

    Dated:
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
