Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Filing

July 3, 2007.
    Take notice that on June 25, 2007, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC 
(Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, filed an 
abbreviated application for a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity, pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 
157 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, authorizing Texas Gas to 
expand its facilities at Midland Gas Storage Field in Muhlenberg 
County, Kentucky. The project will provide up to 8.25 Bcf of new firm 
storage capacity, as well as provide up to 92.2 MMcf/d of increased 
firm deliverability. The application is on file with the Commission and 
open for public inspection. 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 ``eLibrary''

    Texas Gas is seeking a determination that it qualifies for market-
based rates. In the event that the Commission does not allow market-
based rates for the new storage capacity under either the traditional 
market power analysis or section 4(f) of the NGA, Texas Gas seeks 
authorization to construct only the facilities necessary to create 
approximately 2 Bcf of new storage capacity at the rates reflected in 
the Precedent Agreement between Texas Gas and its storage customer.
    For the 2 Bcf expansion, Texas Gas proposes the following 
activities:
--To install a discharge cooler and additional gas dehydration 
facilities, and to uprate two electric drive compressors (from 1,250 to 
1,500 HP each) at the Midland 3 Compressor Station, and
--To restage one existing centrifugal compressor at the Slaughters 
Compressor Station.
    For the full 8.25 Bcf expansion, Texas Gas proposes the following 
additional activities:
--At the Midland 3 Compressor Station, to install one 5,488 HP Solar 
Centaur 50gas turbine13 and auxiliary facilities, to retire in place 
two existing 2,000 HP Delaval reciprocating compressor units, including 
certain auxiliary facilities, and to construct a 2,900-foot extension 
of its E-9 16-inch storage lateral.
--To construct approximately 11 miles of 30-inch mainline pipeline loop 
from the discharge side of the Midland 3 Compressor Station to a point 
near Hanson, Kentucky.
--To drill seven horizontal injection/withdrawal wells and install 
related piping and measurement at Midland.
    Texas Gas proposes the service dates of November 1, 2008 and 
November 1, 2009 for the 2 Bcf expansion and 8.25 Bcf expansion, 
respectively.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to Kathy 
D. Fort, Manager of Certificates and Tariffs, Texas Gas Transmission, 
LLC, 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301.
