August 25, 2005.
    On August 18, 2005, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America 
(Natural) filed an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural 
Gas Act and part 157 of the regulations of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) requesting to amend the certificate 
of public convenience and necessity issued to Natural on December 24, 
2002 to permit Natural to utilize five ``withdrawal only'' wells at the 
North Lansing storage facility in Harrison County, Texas as injection/
withdrawal wells. 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 ``e-Library'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676, or for 
TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to

America, 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148, telephone (630)

    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

[[Page 51765]]

by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made in 
the proceeding with the Commission and must mail a copy to the 
applicant and to every other party. 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.
    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: September 15, 2005.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
