Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-73-000]


Port Barre Investments, LLC (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage); Notice of 
Application

    Take notice that on February 12, 2016, Port Barre Investments, 
L.L.C. (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage) (Bobcat), 5400 Westheimer Court, 
Houston, Texas 77056-5310, filed an application, pursuant to section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations for an amendment to a Certificate of Public Convenience and 
Necessity issued to Bobcat on March 19, 2009 in Docket No. CP09-19-000, 
as amended by Commission orders on March 31, 2010 in Docket No. CP10-
30-000, and on April 8, 2011 in Docket No. CP11-124-000. The March 19 
Order authorized Bobcat to construct, own, operate, and maintain three 
additional natural gas storage facilities (Cavern Nos. 3, 4, and 5) at 
the salt dome in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. With this application, 
Bobcat is seeking authorization to amend its certificate to reflect a 
change in the base gas capacity for Cavern Well No. 4 from 2.5 billion 
cubic feet (Bcf) to 3.5 Bcf, and a change in total gas capacity for 
Cavern Well No. 4 from 12.4 Bcf to 13.4 Bcf, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. No changes are proposed by Bobcat to the 
certificated working gas capacity for any of the caverns.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Lisa 
A. Connolly, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Bobcat Gas 
Storage, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, or by calling (713) 
627-4102 (telephone) or by email at [email protected].
    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 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

[[Page 11786]]

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 5 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 5 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 email 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please email 
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
