    Take notice that on June 29, 2005 Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), PO Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP05-388-000 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations 
requesting a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the 
authorization to construct and operate a total of 176.43 miles of 24-
inch and 30-inch diameter pipeline, three new compressor stations 
totaling approximately 31,050 horsepower, and other appurtenant 
facilities. Southern states that this project, known as the Cypress 
Pipeline Project (located in Georgia and Florida), will be constructed 
in three phases with phased in-service dates of May 1, 2007, May 1, 
2009, and May 1, 2010. Southern states that the project will be able to 
provide 500,000 Mcf/d of firm transportation capacity. Southern 
explains that it has entered into precedent agreements with BG LNG 
Services, L.L.C., Florida Power Corporation d/b/a Progress Energy 
Florida, Inc., and the City of Austell, Georgia for firm, long-term 
transportation services, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

    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 stated 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project 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. 
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.
    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.
    Comment Date: July 29, 2005.

Secretary.
