regulations, filed to amend its certificate issued on July 20, 2006 in 
Docket No. CP06-66-000, 166 FERC ]61,052. The requested amendment would

construct a new 16-inch diameter, 2.11-mile pipeline to a Texas Eastern 
Transmission, L.P. (TETCO) interconnect; decrease the pipeline 
diameters of three previously authorized natural gas pipelines; 
construct a new 12-inch diameter,2.14-mile pipeline in the South 
pipeline Corridor to the point of interconnect between the West and 
South Pipeline Corridors; and, construct a 16-inch diameter, 1.34-mile 
line brine pipeline, all as more fully described in the application. 
Further, Bobcat asks that the Commission issue requested authorizations 
on an expedited basis by April 21, 2007.
    Questions concerning the application should be directed to Paul W. 
Bieniawski ([email protected]) or Thomas R. Dill

    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    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 ``e-Filing'' 
link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages 
intervenors to file electronically.
    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''

    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on March 9, 2007.

Secretary.
