[Docket No. CP14-34-000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of
Application
Take notice that on December 27, 2013, Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Company, LLC (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed
an application in Docket No. CP14-34-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations,
for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to abandon
certain pipeline lateral facilities. Specifically, Transco proposes (i)
The abandonment by sale to High Point Gas Gathering, LLC of Transco's
pipeline lateral extending from Mississippi Canyon Block 108 to South
Pass Block 53 offshore Louisiana, and (ii) the abandonment by
assignment to High Point Gas Transmission, LLC Transco's 25.3% interest
in the pipeline lateral extending from Mississippi Canyon Block 194 to
Romere Pass, located offshore and onshore Louisiana. Transco also
requests a finding that Transco's pipeline lateral extending from
Mississippi Canyon Block 108 to South Pass Block 53 will, upon
abandonment, be non-jurisdictional under Section 1(b) of the NGA, and
that the lines are gathering facilities exempt from the Commission's
jurisdiction under NGA Section 1(b), all as more fully set forth in the
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.

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 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 7 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.
Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's
[[Page 2652]]
environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental
documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the
Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commentors
will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other
parties. However, the non-party commentors will not receive copies of
all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission
(except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the
Commission's final order.
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 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
Comment Date: January 29, 2014.
Dated: January 8, 2014.

Secretary.
