[Docket No. CP04-58-003]


Sound Energy Solutions; Notice of Amendment of Application

September 20, 2004.
    Take notice that on September 8, 2004, Sound Energy Solutions (SES) 
filed, pursuant to section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 153 of 
the Commission's regulations, an amendment to its January 26, 2004 
application in Docket No. CP04-58-000. The January 26, 2004 application 
requests authorization to site, construct, and operate an liquefied 
natural gas (LNG) import terminal in the Port of Long Beach, 
California. In SES's amendment in Docket No. CP04-58-003, it requests 
authorization to construct, own and operate a 2.3-mile, 36-inch 
diameter pipeline which will connect its proposed LNG terminal 
facilities to the natural gas pipeline facilities of the Southern 
California Gas Company (SoCal Gas).
    The proposed 2.3-mile pipeline will connect to SoCal Gas's existing 
Line 765 at SoCal Gas's Salt Works Station in the Port of Los Angeles, 
California. In SES's January 26, 2004 application, it did not 
specifically include the 2.3-mile pipeline as part of its request for 
authorization before the Commission. However, the amendment includes a 
description and references to all the places in the supporting 
environmental information filed in SES January 26, 2004 application 
which pertains to the 2.3-mile pipeline.
    This amendment is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://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, please contact FERC Online Support 
at [email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or for 
TTY, contact (202) 502-8659. Any initial questions regarding this 
amendment should be directed to Ms. Tetsuko Egawa, Assistant Director, 
Development, Sound Energy Solutions, 301 East Ocean Boulevard, Suite 
1510, Long Beach, CA 90802.
    Any person who is a party to SES's proceeding in Docket No. CP04-
58-000 is automatically a party to SES's proceeding as amended by 
Docket No. CP04-58-003. Otherwise, there are two ways to become 
involved in the Commission's review of this amendment. First, any 
person (who is not already a party in the proceeding) wishing to obtain 
legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this amendment 
should, on or before the below listed comment date, 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 in Docket No CP04-58-000. 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 concerning the amendment. 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 amendment. 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 amendment provide copies of their 
protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this amendment should submit an original and two copies of their 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters 
will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will 
receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of 
meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process.

[[Page 57683]]

 Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments 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: October 7, 2004.

Magalie Salas,
Secretary.
