Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations, for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct, operate, 
and maintain certain pipelines and appurtenant facilities extending 
from Henderson County, Kentucky to Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana 
(Southern Indiana Market Lateral Project). The filing may be viewed on 
the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to J. 
Kyle Stephens, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs & Rates, Texas Gas 
Transmission, LLC, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 77046, 
telephone (713) 479-8059, fax (866) 459-7336, and email: 
[email protected].
    The proposed Southern Indiana Market Lateral Project was designed 
to meet the specific market demand of Texas Gas' two industrial 
customers in southern Indiana: Midwest Fertilizer Company, LLC and 
SABIC Innovative Plastics Mt. Vernon, LLC. The project involves the 
construction of: Approximately 29.9 miles, 20-inch diameter pipeline; 
approximately 0.90 miles, 10-inch diameter pipeline; and appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed facilities will provide up to 166 MMcf per day 
of firm natural gas transportation capacity. Texas Gas executed the 
Precedent Agreements with the customers providing firm transportation 
services at negotiated rates for a primary term of 20 years. Texas Gas 
also requests authorization to establish an initial recourse rate for 
firm and interruptible services using the proposed project. The cost of 
the proposed facilities is approximately $79.7 million. Texas Gas 
proposed an in-service date of July 1, 2016.
    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 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

[[Page 70513]]

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 5 copies of filings made with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party in the proceeding. 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 commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 11, 2014.

    Dated: November 20, 2014.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
