Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Application
Take notice that on May 31, 2019, Florida Gas Transmission Company,
LLC (FGT), 1300 Main Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No.
CP19-474-000 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA) requesting authorization to construct, install, and operate:
(i) Approximately 13.7 miles of 30-inch-diameter mainline pipe loop
extension and auxiliary facilities in Columbia and Union Counties,
Florida; (ii) approximately 7 miles of 30-inch-diameter mainline pipe
loop extension and auxiliary facilities in Clay and Putnam Counties,
Florida; (iii) minor modifications to Compressor Station 18 in Orange
County, Florida; and (iv) a relocation of existing pig receivers in
Clay, Putnam, and Union Counties, Florida. FGT states that the project
would enable the delivery of up to 169,000 Million British thermal
units per day (MMBtu/d) of firm transportation natural gas to their
customers--109,000 MMBtu/d would utilize existing capacity and 60,000
MMBtu/d would be created by the proposed facilities. FGT is proposing
negotiated rates and estimates the total cost of the Putnam Expansion
Project to be approximately $102,572,436, all as more fully set forth
in the application which is on file with the Commission and 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 website web at

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
[[Page 28299]]
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 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must provide 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 commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be
notified of any 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 and will not have the right to seek
court review of the Commission's final order.
As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a
party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner.
If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to ``show
good cause why the time limitation should be waived,'' and should
provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule
214(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\

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 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington,
