[Docket No. CP09-50-000]


Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 3, 2009.
    Take notice that on January 21, 2009, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro, 
Kentucky 42301, filed in Docket No. CP09-50-000, a prior notice request 
pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.210 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for 
authorization to replace a two mile section of the 12-inch diameter XT 
pipeline by constructing two miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline, 
located in Johnson County, Missouri, 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 Web 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, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Southern Star proposes to replace a two mile section 
of the 12-inch diameter XT pipeline with two miles of 20-inch diameter 
XM pipeline, near Warrensburg, Missouri, a continuation of its multi-
year plan to replace the remaining miles of 12-inch diameter XT 
pipeline. Southern Star estimates the cost of construction to be 
$5,096,685. Southern Star asserts that after the proposed pipeline 
construction is completed, approximately two miles of the 12-inch XT 
pipeline will be abandoned either in place or by reclaim. Southern Star 
states that the replacement pipeline will improve reliability and offer 
flexibility on its system but does not provide any additional firm 
capacity upstream and will continue to be operated at its current 
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure of 570 psi.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to David 
N. Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc., 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, or 
call (270) 852-4654.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant 
notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    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.
