Blanket Certificate

    On February 8, 2013, Southwest Gas Storage Company (Southwest) 
filed a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208(b), 
157.213(b) and 157.216(b)(2) of the Commission's regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act and Southwest's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP99-230-000. Southwest seeks authorization to construct, modify 
and abandon certain natural gas storage facilities at the Howell 
Storage Field, located in Livingston County, Michigan, to improve the 
storage field's operation.
    Questions regarding this application may be directed to Stephen 
Veatch, Senior Director of Certificates & Tariffs, Southwest Gas 
Storage Company, 5051 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056, or by 
calling 713 989-2024, by faxing 713 989-1176, or by emailing

    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after 
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 and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), 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 filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.
    Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. 
Such motions or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Applicant. On or before the comment date, it is 
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons 
other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of 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 seven copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
