[Docket No. CP25-91-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization and Establishing Intervention and Protest
Deadline
Take notice that on February 27, 2025, Florida Gas Transmission
Company, LLC (Florida Gas), 1300 Main St., Houston, Texas 77002, filed
in the above referenced docket, a prior notice request pursuant to
sections 157.205, 157.208, and 157.210 of the Commission's regulations
under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Florida Gas's blanket certificate
issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000, for authorization to construct/
modify, maintain and operate certain natural gas mainline facilities
(CS 21 Enhancement Project). Florida Gas is proposing to uprate one
existing natural gas-fired compressor turbine from 6,500 horsepower
(hp) to 7,700 hp at Florida Gas's existing Compressor Station 21 in
Palm Beach County, Florida as well as to install and modify existing
station auxiliary facilities including two new cooling towers on the
existing 30-inch-diameter discharge header to support the existing and
upgraded gas compressors. Florida Gas states the Project is designed to
meet the demand for 50,000 MMBtu/d of existing natural gas
transportation service to be reallocated for delivery for Florida Power
and Light (FPL) in Florida Gas's Market Area, for FPL, without
increasing the overall certificated capacity of Florida Gas's system.
Florida Gas states the project will not impact other Florida Gas
Shippers. The estimated cost for the project is $9,000,000, all as more
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.

Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\1\ any person \2\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\3\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is May 9, 2025. A protest may also serve as
a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also seeks to
be an intervenor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interventions
Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding.
[[Page 12315]]
Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of Commission
orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently challenge the
Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is May 9, 2025. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 18 CFR 385.214.
\5\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.
Comments

Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before May 9, 2025. The filing of a comment alone will not serve
to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party, you
must intervene in the proceeding.
