[Docket No. CP11-145-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC; Notice of Application
Take notice that on March 24, 2011, Florida Gas Transmission
Company, LLC (FGT), 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056, filed
in Docket No. CP11-145-000, an application, pursuant to section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's Regulations, to construct and operate a new electric
compressor station with appurtenant facilities; to upgrade existing
pipeline facilities; and to install auxiliary facilities at an existing
compressor station, all located in Orange County, Florida (known as The
Cape Canaveral Project). Specifically, FGT proposes to construct and
operate a new Compressor Station No. 32 consisting of two (2) 15,000
horsepower electric units connecting to FGT's existing 26-inch
mainline; to upgrade 800 feet of existing 26-inch mainline to allow for
higher design pressure at the tie-ins of the suction and discharge
piping; and to install auxiliary facilities at FGT's existing
Compressor Station No. 18. FGT also states that it has entered into an
agreement with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) in which FPL agrees
to reimburse FGT for the costs of the proposed facilities, including
the ongoing operation and maintenance costs and electric power cost. In
conjunction, FGT plans to abandon and remove the existing Cape
Canaveral Measurement and Regulator Station (M&R Station) and will
contruct a new M&R station and associated facilities pursuant to its
Blanket Certificate in Docket No. CP82-553-000. The total estimated
cost for the proposed Cape Canaveral Project is $81.44 million, 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

Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Stephen Veatch, Senior Director of Certificates & Tariffs, Florida Gas
Transmission Company, LLC, 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056,

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)
[[Page 20654]]
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 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 7 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.
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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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 in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
