Take notice that on June 28, 2019, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline
LLC (Kinder Morgan), at 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002,
filed an application in the above reference docket an application
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to construct
certain facilities. Kinder Morgan proposes to construct, and operate
the Acadiana Project (Project). The Project involves the: (1)
Installation of three (3) new gas fired compressor units totaling
95,700 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) horsepower
at Kinder Morgan's existing Compressor Station No. 760 in Acadia
Parish, Louisiana, (2) modifications to meter piping at Kinder Morgan's
existing Columbia Gulf Transmission Meter Station in Evangeline Parish,
Louisiana, and (3) the installation of auxiliary facilities at both
locations, 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 http://www.ferc.gov
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676 or TYY, (202) 502-8659.
Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Bruce
H. Newsome, Vice President, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC, 3250
Lacey Road, 7th Floor, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515-7918, by telephone
at (630) 725-3070 or by email at [email protected].
Specifically, the Project will allow Kinder Morgan to increase firm
north-to-south transportation capacity on its system by 894,000
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) from existing pipeline that interconnects to
an existing delivery point with Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (SPL) at
SPL's liquefied natural gas export terminal at Sabine Pass in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana. The expansion capacity (894,000 Dth/d) will be
combined with 145,000 Dth/d of existing system capacity that has been
reserved for the Project to enable Kinder Morgan to meet the request of
SPL, which has executed a binding precedent agreement with Kinder
Morgan for 945,000 Dth/d of transportation capacity for delivery of
feedstock gas to the SPL Export Terminal. The estimated cost of the
Project is $143,048,567.
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
[[Page 34885]]
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 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, and will be
notified of any 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 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 August 2, 2019.
Dated: July 12, 2019.

Deputy Secretary.
