On May 18, 2017, Texas Gas notified the Commission that the
original April 26 Application had incorrectly listed the location of

City Compressor Station is Assumption Parish, Louisiana. To remedy this
error and in accordance with section 157.6(d) of the Commission's
regulations, Texas Gas states that it will make a good faith effort to
re-notify all towns, communities, and local, state, and federal
governments and agencies (Stakeholders) located in St. Mary Parish,
Louisiana, of this error. In addition, Texas Gas states that it has
made an effort to notify all such Stakeholder entities in Assumption
Parish, Louisiana of the proposed abandonment activities at the Morgan
City Compressor Station. To give interested parties who were not on the
original landowner list an opportunity to comment, the comment date for
this application has been revised, to the date listed at the end of
this notice.
This application is on file with the Commission and is open to
public inspection. The filing is available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice \2\ 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 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 EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The 90-day timeframe restarts from the date of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 seven 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 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 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 9, 2017.
