Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application

June 10, 2005.
    On June 9, 2005, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern 
Star), pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part 157 
of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) filed an abbreviated application for abandonment by sale 
to Keystone Gas Corporation (Keystone) of Southern Star's Mulhall-
Drumright line consisting of approximately 46.4 miles of 12 and 16-inch 
diameter steel pipe and appurtenances located in Creek, Payne, and 
Logan Counties of Oklahoma. Southern Star also requested a 
jurisdictional determination exempting the facilities operation from 
NGA jurisdiction following the sale.
    Southern Star states that the facilities were originally 
constructed in 1947 to support Southern Star's former merchant function 
and provide mainline transmission, but in more recent years has only 
served to gather gas from local producers and provide limited gas 
service to various parties along the system, which will continue upon 
the transfer of facilities to Keystone, as more fully described in the 
application. This filing is available for review at the Commission or 
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov, by 
using the eLibrary (FERRIS) link. Enter the docket number excluding the 
last three digits in the docket number filed to access the document.

Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc., 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, KY 42301 or call (270) 852-

before the comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory

[[Page 35242]]

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 intervenors to file 
electronically.
    Comment Date: July 1, 2005.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
