Specifically, Liberty requests authorization from the Commission to
enter into a transaction necessary for Liberty to receive a real
property tax exemption with respect to the pipeline, compression and
appurtenant facilities in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana that have been
authorized by the Commission. The transaction will consist of the
transfer of legal title to such facilities to a local governmental
agency, the Industrial Development Board of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana
(Development Board). The Development Board will, upon transfer of
title, lease the facilities back to Liberty. Liberty
[[Page 54810]]
will thus retain operational control of, and responsibility for, the
facilities. Liberty asserts that the transaction will have no effect on
the natural gas storage and other services that Liberty will provide to
its customers. Upon termination of the lease, Liberty will reacquire
title to the facilities.
Any questions regarding Liberty Gas Storage, LLC's application
should be directed to: William D. Rapp, Senior Regulatory Counsel,
Sempra Energy, 101 Ash Street, HQ 13, San Diego, CA 92101, phone: (619)

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, 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 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding.
Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project, or in support of or in opposition to 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, will receive copies of the
environmental documents, and will be notified of 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. The Commission's rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests
only to the applicant. However, the non-party commenters 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 via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
