---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 18, 2017, Texas Gas notified the Commission that the 
original April 26 Application had incorrectly listed the location of 
the Morgan City Compressor Station. The correct location of the Morgan 
City Compressor Station is Assumption Parish, Louisiana. To remedy this 
error and in accordance with section 157.6(d) of the Commission's 
regulations, Texas Gas states that it will make a good faith effort to 
re-notify all towns, communities, and local, state, and federal 
governments and agencies (Stakeholders) located in St. Mary Parish, 
Louisiana, of this error. In addition, Texas Gas states that it has 
made an effort to notify all such Stakeholder entities in Assumption 
Parish, Louisiana of the proposed abandonment activities at the Morgan 
City Compressor Station. To give interested parties who were not on the 
original landowner list an opportunity to comment, the comment date for 
this application has been revised, to the date listed at the end of 
this notice.
    This application is on file with the Commission and is open to 
public inspection. The filing is available for review at the Commission 
in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web 
site 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, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY,

Pipeline Company, LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, Houston, Texas 
77046, by telephone at (713) 479-8252, or by email to

    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice \2\ 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 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 EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The 90-day timeframe restarts from the date of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 seven copies of filings made in the proceeding with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party. 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 7 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 June 9, 2017.
