[Docket Nos. CP07-4-000; CP07-5-000; CP07-6-000]


Mississippi Hub, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

October 20, 2006.
    On October 10, 2006, in Docket Nos. CP07-4-000, CP07-5-000 and 
CP07-6-000, Mississippi Hub, L.L.C. (MS HUB), pursuant to section 7(c) 
of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and part 157, subparts A and F, and 
part 284, subpart G of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) regulations, filed requests for: authorization to 
construct, own, and operate the MS HUB Storage Project; a Subpart F 
construction, operation and abandonment blanket certificate (CP07-5-
000); and, a Subpart G transportation blanket certificate (CP07-6-000). 
MS HUB also seeks: approval of its pro forma tariff; authorization to 
charge market-based rates for the proposed storage services; and, 
waiver of certain Commission regulations. Further, MS HUB asks that the 
Commission issue requested authorizations by February 15, 2007 so that: 
construction may start in spring 2007; initial storage injections can 
commence in spring and summer of 2008; and, withdrawals can begin by 
December 31, 2008. Start-up in this timeframe also would coincide with 
proposed in-service dates of certain Gulf Coast region liquefied 
natural gas import terminals.
    The new, high-deliverability storage facility would be located in 
Simpson and Jefferson Davis Counties, Mississippi. The facility would 
have initial interconnections with two interstate (Southern Natural Gas 
Co. and Gulf South Pipeline) and one intrastate (CrossTex Energy) gas 
pipeline systems. Due to the sequential construction process associated 
with the solution mining of the two proposed caverns, MS HUB requests 
that the Commission authorize construction over a five-year period.
    Questions concerning the application should be directed to by 
calling (281) 242-2381 or J. Gordon Pennington, Attorney at Law, 2707 
N. Kensington St., Arlington, Virginia 22207 or at 703-533-7638 or 
[email protected].
    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.
    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

[[Page 63295]]

``e-Filing'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly 
encourages intervenors to file electronically.
    The Commission may issue a preliminary determination on non-
environmental issues prior to the completion of its review of the 
environmental aspects of the Projects. This preliminary determination 
typically considers such issues as the need for the Project and its 
economic effect on other pipelines in the area and on land and 
communities.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: November 9, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
