    Take notice that on June 2, 2008, International Paper Company (IP), 
6400 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN 38197 and RSFC Land Management, LLC 
RSFC, 10877 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 710, Los Angeles, CA 90024, filed 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an abbreviated joint 
application, pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA), as amended, and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations. In 
this joint application, IP requests Commission authorization to abandon 
by sale to RSFC approximately 17.83 miles of 6 \5/8\-inch-diameter 
pipeline running from Tensas parish, Louisiana to Natchez, Mississippi, 
1,000 feet of 6-inch-diameter pipeline, a 200 horsepower compressor 
station and appurtenant facilities. Accordingly, RSFC requests 
Commission authorization to acquire these facilities from IP. RSFC also 
requests a blanket certificate under Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations as well as various waivers under Parts 154, 201, 260, and 
284 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,

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Carolyn F. Corwin, Covington & Burling LLP, 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20004, phone (202) 662-5338, [email protected], or 
Barbara S. Jost, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, 1919 Pennsylvania Avenue,

    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

[[Page 34006]]

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: June 30, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
