[Docket No. CP08-27-000]


Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

November 27, 2007.
    Take notice that on November 14, 2007, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in 
Docket No. CP08-27-000, an application pursuant to section 7of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations to 
construct the Carthage Expansion Project (Project). The Project 
involves the construction of a new 7,700 horsepower compressor station 
in DeSota Parish, Louisiana, on Tennessee's Line 700-1; the 
installation of a 10,310 horsepower gas turbine unit to upgrade and 
replace compression at Tennessee's existing Compressor Station 47 on 
its Line 100 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana; and the construction of 1.1 
miles of twelve-inch pipe and meter facilities also in Ouachita Parish, 
Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 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) 420-5589.
    Specifically, Tennessee seeks authority to increase capacity on its 
Line 700-1 from Carthage, Panola County, Texas, to Natchitoches, 
Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, and to increase capacity and establish 
an interconnect on its Line 100 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, with 
Entergy Louisiana, LLC (Entergy) at Entergy's Perryville Generation 
Station (Power Plant). The Project will allow Tennessee to provide 
100,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service for the Power Plant. 
Incidental to the Project, Tennessee will utilize this expansion as an 
opportunity to replace three older 1,100 horsepower compressor units at 
its Compressor Station 47 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, which 
Tennessee states were installed in 1948 under FPC Docket No. G-808 (6 
FPC 122 (1947). The estimated total cost of the Project is 
approximately $38.5 million--$26.9 million for the expansion component 
and $11.6 million for the replacement component.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Jay 
v. Allen, Senior Counsel, 1001 Louisiana, Houston, Texas 77002, at 
(713) 627-5415.
    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 stated below, 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

[[Page 68138]]

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 should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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.
    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. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest 
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: December 18, 2007.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
