[Docket No. CP08-94-000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Application
March 27, 2008.
Take notice that on March 18, 2008, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, filed in
Docket No. CP08-94-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the Commission's regulations for
permission and approval to abandon the South Marsh Island Block 66
``C'' Platform (SMI 66C Platform) and appurtenances, located in
offshore Louisiana, 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 Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three

Transco proposes to abandon the SMI 66C Platform and appurtenant
facilities. Transco states that it has not used the platform to provide
transportation service at least since the abandonment of the
compressors in 1986. Transco declares that the platform is no longer
needed by Transco, was damaged in hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005,
and should be removed. Transco avers that the abandonment of the
platform will have no impact on the daily design capacity of, or
operating conditions on, Transco's pipeline system, nor will the
abandonment have any adverse impact on Transco's existing customers.
Transco states that no customers have received service through the SMI
66C Platform since the abandonment of the compressors in 1986.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Ingrid Germany, Certificates & Tariffs, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation, P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, at (713) 215-4015.
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 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
[[Page 18266]]
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. 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.
Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
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: April 17, 2008.

Secretary.
