[Docket No. CP07-30-000]


Petal Gas Storage, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

December 14, 2006.

    Take notice that on December 4, 2006, Petal Gas Storage, L.L.C 
(Petal), 1100 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas, 77002, filed with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an abbreviated application 
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and 
part 157 of the Commission's regulations for authorization to convert 
two existing salt caverns into natural gas storage caverns in Forrest 
County, Mississippi. The proposal (referred to as the Petal Cavern 
Conversions Project), consists of: (1) altering the configuration of 
the caverns to allow for natural gas storage (one currently stores 
natural gas liquids and one currently stores brine) and (2) 
constructing pipeline facilities necessary to connect the converted 
caverns with the existing Petal natural gas storage operations. The 
cavern conversions would add a total of 4.45 Bcf of storage capacity to 
Petals system, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing 
may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Richard Porter, Petal Gas Storage, L.L.C, 1100 Louisiana Street, 
Houston, Texas, 77002, (telephone) (713) 381-2526, (fax) (713) 803-
2534, [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.
    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: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on January 4, 2007.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
