Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

May 1, 2006.
    Take notice that on April 26, 2006, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in 
Docket No. CP06-145-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, 
for authorization to abandon, by sale, to Denbury Onshore, LLC 
approximately 142 miles of transmission pipelines predominantly ranging 
from 8 to 18 inches in diameter and appurtenant facilities, including 
nine meter stations, which extends in an easterly direction from Tensas 
Parish, Louisiana, to its Gwinville Compressor Station in Jefferson 
Davis County, Mississippi (Facilities), and the services provided by 
those Facilities. Additionally, Southern requests that the Commission 
make a determination that, upon the sale of the Facilities, neither the 
Facilities nor the services provided through the Facilities will be 
subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under section 1(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act. This filing is available for review at the Commission 
in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Web 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, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to John 
C. Griffin, Senior Counsel, Southern Natural Gas Company, P.O. Box 
2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563 at (205) 325-7133.
    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, 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, or in support of or in opposition to 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. The Commission's rules require that persons filing 
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests 
only to the applicant. 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: May 22, 2006.

Secretary.
