ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on June 3, 2016, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 700 
Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, TX 77002-2700, filed an 
application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and 
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, requesting authorization to 
implement the permanent and temporary abandonment of certain 
facilities, horsepower, and design capacity at its Grand Chenier 
Compressor Station (CS), located in Cameron Parish, 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 digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application should be directed to 
Linda Farquhar, Manager, Project Determinations and Regulatory 
Administration, ANR Pipeline Company, 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 700, 
Houston, Texas 77002-2700, by phone (832) 320-5685, or by email at 
[email protected].
    Specifically, ANR states that Grand Chenier CS is currently 
certificated at 16,200 horsepower (HP) and has two units, one rated at 
8,100 HP and the other ISO-rated at 9,700 HP. However, ANR has 
determined that it can continue to meet current transportation 
requirements without compression at the Grand Chenier CS. Thus, ANR 
proposes to permanently abandon 6,500 HP of certificated horsepower at 
its Grand Chenier CS. In order to effectuate this, ANR proposes to 
abandon in place its 8,100 HP compressor unit. In addition, ANR 
proposes to temporarily abandon the remaining certificated 9,700 HP and 
192 million cubic feet per day of design capacity for a period of up

[[Page 40294]]

to 36 months. ANR states that this proposed temporary action will allow 
ANR time to evaluate whether market demand predicates the need to 
retain this horsepower and to react quickly to any changing market 
conditions in the region. ANR states that the implementation of the 
Project will not impact ANR's ability to serve existing firm contracts.
    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 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 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 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.
    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 five copies of the protest or intervention to 
the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 6, 2016.

    Dated: June 15, 2016.
Kimberly Bose,
Secretary.
