[Docket No. CP07-328-000]
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application
May 10, 2007.
Take notice that on May 3, 2007, Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky
42301, filed an application in Docket No. CP07-328-000 pursuant to
section 7(b) of the
[[Page 27807]]
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval to abandon Southern
Star's Cement-Drumright line comprised of approximately 40.83 miles of
12-inch and 16-inch diameter pipeline and appurtenances located in
Grady and Comanche Counties, Oklahoma, by sale to DCP Midstream, LP.
Southern Star further requests that the Commission find the facilities,
when sold, as exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction pursuant to
section 1(b) of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Southern Star states that the facilities were originally
constructed to support its former merchant function and provide
mainline transmission, but in more recent years has only served to
gather gas from local producers and provided limited gas service to
various parties along the system, which will continue upon the transfer
of the facilities to DCP Midstream, LP.
This filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may 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, contact FERC Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or Telephone: 202-502-6652; Toll-free: 1-

Any initial questions regarding this application should be directed
to Tim Thompson, Attorney, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.,
4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, or call (270) 852-4943.
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 proceeding 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 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 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 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 under the ``e-Filing'' link.
Comment Date: May 31, 2007.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
