[Docket No. CP13-179-000]


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

    Take notice that on April 16, 2013, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky, 
filed in Docket No. CP13-179-000, a prior notice request pursuant to 
sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the Commission's regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA), seeking authorization to abandon a portion 
of compression within its existing Tonganoxie Compressor Station 
located in Leavenworth County, Kansas, all as more fully set forth in 
the application. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the ``eLibrary'' link and is also 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 email notification when a document is added to 
the subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, 
please email [email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll

    Specifically, Southern Star proposes to abandon in place four 
compressor units (Units 1 through 4), each rated at 440 horsepower, at 
its Tonganoxie Compressor Station. These units, installed in 1949, were 
used in routing natural gas from Southern Star's Ottawa Compressor 
Station and McLouth Gas Storage field to system deliveries in the St. 
Joe, Atchison, Fall City, and Tonganoxie-Fairfax areas. Southern Star 
has deemed the utilization of these units to be unnecessary in serving 
peak firm service, and the abandonment will save on maintenance costs 
and avoid the need for future capital cost.
    Any questions regarding the applications should be directed to 
David N. Roberts, Staff Analyst, Regulatory Compliance, Southern Star 
Central Gas Pipeline, Inc., 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, KY 42301, or 
call (270) 852-4654.

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 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments

review of the Commission's final order.
    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
