[Docket No. CP15-30-000]


Southern Natural Gas Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on December 15, 2014, Southern Natural Gas 
Company, L.L.C. (Southern), 569 Brookwood Village, Suite 749, 
Birmingham, Alabama 35209, filed in Docket No. CP15-30-000 an 
application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) 
requesting authorization to abandon by sale to AMP Gathering I, LP 
(Align Midstream), approximately 33.565 miles of its 33.6 mile 10-inch 
Carthage Lateral Pipeline, as well as three associated receiving 
stations and other appurtenant facilities located in Panola and Shelby 
Counties, Texas, and to abandon by retirement the remaining 300 feet of 
its Carthage Lateral Pipeline located in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, all 
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. Align Midstream filed a 
petition for a declaratory order, in Docket No. CP15-34-000, finding 
that the Carthage Facilities to be acquired by Southern will perform a 
gathering function, and therefore will be exempt from the Commission's 
jurisdiction. The notice for CP15-34-000 will be issued simultaneously 
with this one.
    The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov

    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Pam 
Donaldson, Regulatory Affairs, Southern Natural Gas Company, L.L.C., 
569 Brookwood Village, Suite 749, Birmingham, Alabama 35209, at (205)

    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

[[Page 78419]]

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 original and 7 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 commentors 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 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.
    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 email 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please email

TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 8, 2015.

    Dated: December 18, 2014.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
