[Docket No. CP10-82-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company, Southern Natural Gas Company, 
Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Company, LLC, Enterprise Field Services, LLC; Notice of Application

March 16, 2010.
    Take notice that on March 5, 2010, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern Natural), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-
1000, filed on behalf of itself and other owners, Southern Natural Gas 
Company, Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC, Transcontinental Gas 
Pipe Line Company, LLC, and Enterprise Field Services, LLC in the above 
referenced docket an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, 
requesting authorization to abandon in place certain facilities, 
located onshore Texas and offshore Texas in state and federal waters, 
known as the Matagorda Offshore Pipeline System (MOPS). Northern 
Natural states that operation of MOPS has become uneconomical due to 
increasing costs of maintenance and repairs compared to falling 
revenues, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 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'' 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, (886) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to 
Michael T. Loeffler, Senior Director, Certificates and External 
Affairs, Northern Natural Gas Company, 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, 
Nebraska 68124, or phone at (402)398-7103, or e-mail at

    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 in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link 
at http://www.ferc.gov. 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.
    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) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: April 6, 2010.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
