[Docket No. CP19-481-000]


Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization; Transcontinental 
Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC

    Take notice that on June 21, 2019, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Company, LLC (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, 
filed in Docket No. CP19-481-000 a prior notice request pursuant to 
sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) to abandon, partially in place and partially by 
removal, supply lateral pipelines located in offshore federal waters 
near Louisiana. Specifically, Transco proposes to abandon an 
approximately 19.24-mile, 10-inch-diameter pipeline extending subsea 
from Ship Shoal Block 169 to Ship Shoal Block 87, Platform B, and an 
approximately 1.06-mile, 8-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Ship 
Shoal Block 87, Platform B to Ship Shoal Block 72 subsea tie-in (Supply 
Laterals).
    Transco states that the abandonment of the Supply Laterals will 
have no impact on the daily design capacity of, or operating conditions 
on, Transco's pipeline system, nor will the abandonment have any 
adverse impact on Transco's existing customers. Additionally, Transco 
states that the Supply Laterals have not provided service to any 
customers during the previous 12 months and are not covered under a 
firm contract. Transco estimates the total cost of the abandonment to 
be approximately $2.4 million, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number
