[Docket No. CP07-30-002]
Petal Gas Storage, LLC.; Notice of Application
July 31, 2007.
Take notice that on July 23, 2007, Petal Gas Storage, LLC. (Petal),
1100 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), an abbreviated application
pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and
part 157 of the Commission's regulations for authorization to abandon
in place certain facilities previously authorized under this docket by
the Commission on March 28, 2007. Specifically, Petal proposes to
abandon the conversion of Cavern No. 9 to natural gas storage (formerly
used to store natural gas liquids) as well as abandon in place
approximately 2,055 feet of six inch diameter associated pipeline that
has already been constructed. Petal states that Cavern No. 9 was found
to be unsuitable for natural gas storage because it will leak under the
pressures required for natural gas storage 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 Commission's
Web site 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, please contact FERC
Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
Any questions regarding the application should be directed to

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 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, 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.
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.
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.
Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on August 21, 2007.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
